Then how on earth do VICE journalists manage to embed with ISIS? I'm a fan of their work but I'm very skeptical of their methods.

What should I be doing if being a foreign correspondent for Al Jazeera is one of my dream jobs?

I'm a Syrian-American third year journalism student and I speak close to fluent Arabic.

How do you go from being a crime reporter to a Middle East correspondent covering Egypt? I'd imagine those beats require a completely different mentality and set of skills. I'm Syrian and a student journalist in the U.S. covering campus crime, and I hate it. But the reason I got into journalism is the recent events in the Middle East.
