Photojournalist Ashley Gilbertson on the war abroad and at home

From Charlottesville Podcasting Network:

Award-winning photojournalist Ashley Gilbertson showed images from his coverage of the Iraq War and described the war’s toll on the homefront to a meeting of the Jefferson Literary and Debating Society on October 10, 2008. This presentation was jointly sponsored by the Jefferson Society and the Virginia Quarterly Review to mark the publication of his article, “The Life and Lonely Death of Noah Pierce,” in the Fall 2008 issue of VQR.

I attended and recorded this very moving presentation by Gilbertson. It’s well worth your time to listen — you’ll hear a side of the War on Terror that’s not being presented by the popular media.
