Mosul and Aleppo: A tale of two besieged cities





We examine the difference in the coverage of Mosul and Aleppo. Plus, the Lebanese media mosaic.

Mosul and Aleppo: Two cities under siege 

With conflicts in the Middle East ongoing, it's up to the media to inform us about what is happening on the battlefield. Both, Mosul in Iraq and Aleppo in Syria are cities held by armed groups, surrounded by avenging armies and bombarded by international air power. But with all the geopolitics in play, reporting from the field is seldom black and white.
Talking us through the story are: Dmitry Babich, journalist, Sputnik International; Howard Amos, independent journalist, Russia; Lina Khatib, head of the MENA programme, Chatham House; and Kim Sengupta, defence editor, The Independent (UK).
