| Abstract | This paper is an explanation and analysis of my thesis project for the University of Southern California Graduate School MA in Specialized Journalism ’11. ❧ The story examines female veterans’ challenges in re-integrating into civilian life and the solutions they have discovered to heal themselves. I interviewed seven U.S. female veterans who were diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after deployment in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) or Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). One of the interviewees did not deploy, because she suffered a grievous sexual assault prior to being sent to war. ❧ This project also seeks to expand the limited amount of information that is available about the experiences of female veterans who served in OIF/OEF both from the gender point of view and from the point of view of a soldier. ❧ This project is also an exercise in finding new narrative ways of telling a journalistic story by using the web as a medium. The development of web-based narratives is currently at its early stages. The web as a medium offers unlimited space and multiple possibilities for telling an in-depth story in ways that are unique to the digital environment (hyperlinks, paths, combining video and text etc.) but have not yet been fully explored. |
