Events of the last two decades including the Gulf War, 9/11 and the war in Afghanistan have called into question the role of journalism and news media. The meaning of objectivity is particularly contested. This book is a current, timely analysis of the meaning of objectivity and its role in contemporary journalistic practice.

Helps you combine a conceptually audacious analysis of the changing nature of war with an empirically rich critical analysis of journalists who cover conflict. This title intends to explore questions about the information war and journalistic practices.

The Iraq War provoked widespread public debate, and media coverage of the events have also been the subject of scrutiny. 'Media at War' offers a critical overview of the war coverage, and provides a context for examining questions that emerged about the role of journalists.
