'Hotel journalism' not the essence of what's happening in Iraq
Posted by Bertrand Pecquerie on November 4, 2005 at 11:32 AM
Very good paper from Tom Engelhardt (editor of tomdispatch.com) in Common Dreams about "hotel journalism" in Iraq and the debate in the UK and the US on how covering this new kind of information war: "Iraq is a war in which correspondents disappear into detention or die not because they are covering dangerous events and happen to be caught in a crossfire, but because they are often prime targets themselves -- of guerrillas and terrorists, of gangs of for-profit kidnappers, or of the American military."
