Media Execs Convicted of Inciting Rwandan Genocide
Listen
Earlier this week, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda in Arusha, Tanzania, convicted three Rwandan news media executives of genocide for their role in instigating the slaughter of 800,000 Tutsis in 1994.

NPR's Tavis Smiley talks with Allison Des Forges, a witness in the trial.
