Newsweek's Janine di Giovanni tells us about her friend Steven Sotloff - the American journalist beheaded by Islamic militants. We ask what his death means for journalists trying to cover Syria and Iraq. Also, we find out how smartphone videos are helping to heal post-revolutionary Libyans suffering from PTSD. And, we meet a doctor who wants to record everything that happens when a patient goes under the knife. Also in this edition, a longtime photojournalist who has travelled the world tells us why he is now taking photos of everyday America. Another American photographer shares his experience chronicling the Ebola crisis in Africa. And we hear part two of our story about two young boys from El Salvador and their journey to the US in the hands of smugglers. (Image: A man takes pictures with film on his camera lens.
