On the frontlines, journalists have to put their bodies on the line to bring back solid stories. Siddharth Varadarajan talks about some of the most dangerous places he’s been in while in the field – landmines in Afghanistan, slipping past intelligence agencies in Pakistan, as well as the institutional pressure leveraged against The Wire. He also opens up about his most difficult story – one that has stayed with him to this date.With ‘Behind The Wire’, we want to show you the people behind the journalism. When you support us, these are the people you support, and this is what they believe in. Our work depends on your support – The Wire‘s funding comes predominantly from people like you, who believe in a free press. Together, we keep real journalism alive.
