Overview of Topic
The 2006 Lebanon War, which was between Israel and the military group Hizbullah. During this war the role for the female journalists changed. Many women, such as Katia Nasser, would step up and volunteer to go out on the front line to find any news they could on what was happening. Many lives were risked and a handful were taken when trying to gather more news. The reason this was such of importance was because in the Middle Eastern countries they are mainly men-dominated countries and for the first time women stepped up to be on top.
