Back from Baghdad: A Conversation with Corey Flintoff

A few years ago, NPR's Corey Flintoff helped out Clear Path by doing a voice over for our informational video. You can see the video embedded in this post below. I finally had a chance to meet Corey a few weeks ago while I was in DC on business for The Orvis Company.

What a great guy! Friendly, funny and smart. I hope someday he will take me up on our invitation to join us here in Vermont.

I just came across this "Conversation with Corey Flintoff" online at http://www.poynter.org. It really conveys what a thoughtful and professional journalist he is and also some great insights into the current situation in Iraq.

NPR's Corey Flintoff spent five weeks in Iraq reporting scenes like this one. He covered the burial of Saddam Hussein, child labor among poor families, changes in Iraq's nightlife, and more.

Since then, he's returned to his post as a newscaster for All Things Considered. He visited Poynter this week to talk about his experiences covering the war.
