Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with veteran Middle East journalist, former CBS News and 60 Minutes producer, and author Amjad Tadros.
For more than 30 years, Amjad Tadros worked behind the scenes helping international news organizations report from some of the world’s most complex and dangerous conflict zones. His book The Fixer: A Journalist’s Accidental Journey Through the Middle East reveals the hidden and often overlooked world of the “fixer” — the local journalist and producer who guides foreign correspondents through war zones, political upheaval, revolutions, and history in the making.
Throughout his remarkable career, he worked closely with CBS News, 60 Minutes, and other international media outlets, helping journalists navigate conflicts and breaking news across Iraq, Jordan, Yemen, and the wider Middle East and Gulf region. Serving as the crucial bridge between foreign media and realities on the ground, he witnessed decades of global events firsthand.
From his current home base in Jordan, we discuss his book, international journalism, war reporting, storytelling, Middle East history, political conflict, media ethics, life behind the camera, retirement, and the many unforgettable stories gathered throughout his extraordinary career.
This is a fascinating and deeply insightful conversation about journalism, history, courage, and the unseen side of global reporting. Enjoy this interview with Amjad Tadros.
