Summary
What does it really look like from the inside when wars start, regimes fall, and history is made? That's what four-time Emmy winner Amjad Tadros witnessed over 30 years as CBS News' Middle East producer — and why his lens on today's Middle East matters more than ever.In this conversation, Amjad pulls back the curtain on the hidden world of the "fixer," the local journalists who guide foreign correspondents through conflict zones. He shares what Western audiences misunderstand about the region, how media narratives are shaped, and what current Iran tensions mean for the Middle East and the world — drawing on decades of experience to illuminate the present moment.Join host Khudania Ajay (KAJ) to understand the region's complexities from someone who's lived them — and why the stories behind today's headlines are rarely what they seem.Explore the stories behind the headlines at https://kajmasterclass.com .
