“Female reporters are essential” to foreign reporting. That was the message from award-winning journalist Alex Crawford, as she delivered the Bob Friend Memorial Lecture at the Centre for Journalism last night.

Crawford added "but should that be an argument for not sending woman reporters to Egypt – or any front line? Of course not.”
