[edit] Resources
Here're some places to help one get started. I'm going to be looking for more, going through these, and then'll get going on this article. Snoutwood (talk) 20:09, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] BBC interview notes
I've taken notes on this interview since it's audio and I don't want to have to listen through the whole thing every time I want to remember what was said on it. The interview took place on August 27, 2004, with Ben Arnold.
Clip 1: Couldn't find a journalism job once out of school. Worked in "a couple of factories." Managed to get a few journalism jobs, but was bored, not what he'd imagined. Fantasy of being a foreign correspondent when in school. Dropped journalism for comics. Started in fiction. Due to natural interest in politics, "accidentally the two things [comics and journalism] were combined" when he visited Palestine. Then, became much more "consciously comics journalism."
Clip 2: Self-conscious, unsure of what he was doing. Avoided other journalists, but when he started spending time with them he was treated as one of their own. They especially liked his ability to research for longer. Accepted because he knew what he was doing. Never had problems from other journalists. Trouble from a NGO once: said, "Boy, a cartoonist in Sarajevo. Isn't that like having a ski instructor in Idaho?"
Clip 3: Mostly about the Neven character in The Fixer. "It's always hard to tell for a journalist what's true and what isn't. And sometimes we rely on people around us to, to show us around, you know, and, or to give us information. And sometimes people will steer a journalist in a certain direction, it [sic] may not translate everything that's being told, for whatever reason, political or personal.... So, that's one of the issues I just wanted to bring up. And let, sort of let readers know that that's sort of what goes on in these situations."
Hopefully that'll come in handy. Snoutwood (talk) 05:57, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Timeline
I'm getting a few conflicting reports on Sacco's life, so I'm constructing a timeline here to try and figure out what the correct history is. I'll be adding to it as time goes by and as I get more sources. Snoutwood (talk) 23:18, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
