YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIt has been nearly twoandahalf years since American journalist Austin Tice disappeared while covering the war in Syria. At the time of his disappearance, Austin was one of the few foreign journalists who had continued reporting in Syria as the conflict intensified. He traveled extensively throughout the country filing indepth dispatches from the frontlines. Tice is the last known U.S. reporter held in Syria, after two others James Foley and Steven Sotloff were beheaded by militants from the selfdescribed Islamic State last year. Syria is said to be the world's most dangerous country for journalists, with nearly 130 news and information providers killed since the conflict began in March 2011. Austin's parents, Debra and Marc Tice, join us to discuss the ongoing effort to win their son's release. We also speak to Delphine Halgand, U.S. director of Reporters Without Borders, which has has launched a public awareness campaign for Austin's release.
