Darfur, Front and Center, in 'The New Republic' Published May 12, 2006 at 1:22 PM EDT Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Email Listen • 0:00
This week's issue of The New Republic focuses almost entirely on genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan. The magazine points fingers at many targets, including itself, for not covering the
story more aggressively.
Editor Franklin Foer talks to Michele Norris about the decision to devote the magazine to a single issue. He says the situation in Darfur demands crusading journalism and that the magazine
needed to play a role in pushing for solutions to the crisis.
