Reporting the Hidden Conflict

This chapter features a journalist couple sharing their experiences covering the Contra War in Costa Rica during the 1980s, highlighting the challenges they faced in reporting the truth against editorial resistance. Their narrative uncovers covert U.S. operations, the complexities of drug trafficking, and the chilling attempt on their lives linked to their investigation of the Iran-Contra affair. The discussion not only illuminates their struggle for journalistic integrity but also examines the broader implications of U.S. involvement in Central America.
