The War Correspondent

The War Correspondent looks at the role of the war reporter today: the attractions and the risks of the job; the challenge of objectivity and impartiality in the war zone; the danger of journalistic independence being compromised by military control censorship and public relations; as well as the commercial and technological pressures of an intensely concentrated competitive news media environment. This new edition substantially updates the original examining the &;war on terror&; framework that dominated the first decade of the twenty-century and features interviews with prominent war and foreign correspondents such as John Pilger Robert Fisk Mary Dvesky and Alex Thomson.
