Questions for Mr. Randal

You have seen the media and journalism industries significantly evolve and change over your lifetime. Where do you think it is headed at this point/What do you see in this industry’s future?

You have reported from some notoriously hostile places around the world. How did native people of the foreign countries you reported in receive you? In what country did you feel most uncomfortable?

What made you decide to make the shift from writing for newspapers to a novel?

I read your quote about “editors and others who had never missed a hot meal” now being in the “driver’s seat.” Do you feel that journalists today have become lazy or simply adapted to a new form of journalism? Both? Something else?

I understand that you lived in France for an extended period of time. How does that compare to living and reporting in the U.S.?

How did you know or decide that you wanted to be a foreign correspondent as opposed to reporting on domestic issues here in the U.S.?
