The Cutting Room Floor

My name is James. I am a full-time journalist. I live in New York. I'm interested in hip-hop, traveling the world, politics and 80's era Eddie Murphy movies. Get at me.
pulitzercenter: Correspondent Anna Badkhen has spent the last twelve months traveling through Afghanistan, taking a long look at the life in Afghanistan’s deeply rural north, where Taliban influence is rapidly spreading. On her last trip in 2011, she found a changed place. “There were a lot of villages where I used to go where I could no longer. There were a lot of roads which I could take six months ago which i could no longer take. There were dangers described to me as dangers but not specified. All together it gave me a sense of the country closing, closing into some sort of protective shell.” -Anna Badkhen. Listen to the full interview via The Story. Image by Anna Badkhen.
