On the other end of the line
From the press archive: the story of a telephone column and the questions that opened conversations.
In a 2012 Al Jazirah interview, Al Saadi recalled his start at Al Yamamah in the late 1980s and moments from his journalism career.
He discussed his Al Watan telephone interview column and the conversations later collected in Witnesses of an Era.
This editorial introduction links to the original interview; it is not an essay written by Al Saadi.
