'Fractured Lands,' with Scott Anderson, Ben Solomon, and Jake Silverstein

Ben Solomon, a video journalist on The New York Times team awarded a Pulitzer for its coverage of Ebola in Sierra Leone, will be part of a talk sponsored by The New York Times Magazine and the Pulitzer Center.

The cohosts will present a panel discussion on "Fractured Lands," the Aug. 14, 2016 edition of the magazine devoted to the work of Pulitzer Center grantees Solomon, Scott Anderson and Paolo Pellegrin.

Jon Sawyer, executive director of the Pulitzer Center, will moderate. Anderson and Solomon will be joined on the panel by Jake Silverstein, editor in chief of the magazine. Discussion will focus on the substance of the reporting and the journalistic use of new techniques such as virtual reality.

"Fractured Lands" was the product of months of interviewing, filming, and photography tracing the lives of individuals across the Middle East as they lived through autocratic rule, the American invasion of Iraq, the turmoil of the Arab Spring, and the rise of ISIS and other militant groups. The reporting culminated with Anderson's 41,000-word story, the searing black-and-white imagery of Pellegrin, and links online to Solomon's virtual-reality video on the retaking of Fallujah that he produced this summer while embedded with the Iraqi army.

Anderson has spent decades reporting from the region and is author of Lawrence in the Middle East: War, Deceit, Imperial Folly and the Making of the Modern Middle East, his 2013 book on the impact of T.E. Lawrence and his World War I contemporaries.
