Foreign reporting can be depressingly narrow

"Out in the great wide world, foreign reporting can be depressingly narrow, especially in the post-9/11 climate. Sometimes it seems as if there are only two possible subjects for stories: people we should fear and people we should pity. But those aren't the individuals I met while living abroad."
--Peter Hessler, Strange Stones: Dispatches from East and West (2013)
