Afghan Journalist Discovers Los Angeles
Afghan journalist Emal Haidary came to Los Angeles on a five-month journalism fellowship, sponsored by the the Daniel Pearl Foundation. He worked at the LA Times from April through August and just penned a lengthy Column One piece about his experiences in America.
