Center for Media at Risk

Gitmo Media is a new three-part podcast series that examines how we experience and understand the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base and its complex history. Produced by Annenberg PhD candidate Muira McCammon and Center for Media at Risk 2018-2019 postdoctoral fellow Daniel Grinberg the series considers how media forms have shaped the perspectives of visitors, personnel and detainees at the site and how they have used media to enhance public knowledge of this exceptional and often overlooked space. ”Detainee Diary," the third and final episode in the series, features an interview with Mohamedou Slahi, who was detained at Guantanamo Bay from 2002 until his release fourteen years later. Slahi documented daily life as a Gitmo detainee in the memoir Guantanamo Diary.
