Lara Marlowe on France under Macron, War Reporting & Trump

Lara Marlowe has worked at the Irish Times for the past 22 years. During that time she has reported from far-flung locations including Algeria, Kosovo, Georgia and Iraq. She was the Irish Times Washington correspondent for the first term of Barack Obama's presidency and as Paris correspondent - her current role - she has covered France under four presidents. On today's podcast Marlowe talks to Chris Dooley about how that country has changed from the Chirac era to Macron, and how it has stayed the same. She also talks about reporting from conflict zones and the dangers faced by foreign journalists in those countries.
