During what some have called the 'most televised war in history, ' did journalistic objectivity fall by the wayside? Were the experiences of embedded journalists in Iraq markedly different from reporters who went on their own? Reporting from the Front is a provocative look at media and the Iraq War-spanning issues from basic reporting and coverage to ethical dilemmas, personal safety, and training with the military. Featuring interviews with journalists such as Anne Garrels and Ivan Watson of NPR and Bob Schieffer and Byron Pitts of CBS, among others, Reporting from the Front offers personal insights from a wide range of correspondents, producers, editors, photojournalists, media managers, and military and defense officials about reporting on Iraq as well as on previous wars and other conflicts.

Industry Reviews

This is a very useful study of a different kind of war correspondent-one who works from the inside, raising both reporting opportunities, but also problems. The authors do a good job dealing with both. * Communication Booknotes Quarterly *
Reporting from the Front is an invaluable resource for all who study wartime journalism. Judith Sylvester and Suzanne Huffman do a fine reporting job themselves, presenting lesson-filled stories from those who cover the battlefield and those who manage the news. -- Philip Seib, University of Southern California
Describing a different kind of war correspondent-one who does work from the inside-this useful study does a good job of raising issues about the opportunities and the problems inherent in this kind of reporting. Highly recommended. * CHOICE *
Reporting from the Front provides a comprehensive and fascinating series of first-person, behind-the-scenes accounts of media coverage during the U.S. invasion of Iraq. -- Elliot Jaspin, Cox Newspapers
