Summary

José also covered the siege of Kobani. The young reporter was now a stringer: he had an informal agreement to regularly provide content to an American news website, which even provided him a modest travel and expense budget when the story was big enough. The Kobani story was huge, and in October José headed to the border with an Istanbul fixer named Zeynep. Elif was his first choice, but she was already engaged by XYZ. The channel paid her more than José could dream to. José chose Zeynep next because, though not Kurdish herself, she was a leftist grad student activist who seemed to strike the right insider-outsider balance for the story.
