NPR's Corey Flintoff met Monday with a group of faculty, staff, seminar participants and visitors at The Poynter Institute in St. Petersburg, Fla.

Poynter's Al Tompkins moderated the discussion. Before taking questions, he played a radio story Flintoff produced just before Christmas. Take a few minutes and listen to it here. You might also want to check out the postscript he recorded a few weeks later. Both pieces come out of Flintoff's recent five-week stint as a foreign correspondent.

At Poynter, the veteran radio journalist talked about educating an American public that seems not to know the country is at war, personalizing war coverage by using audio and reporting in one of the most restricted places on Earth.
