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.

"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

"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
