ABF 2006 Session dated on 4th June 2006, Embedded in Danger: Iraq War Coverage
As war rages in Iraq and the conflict has proven to be the most dangerous war ever for journalists, ABF looks at how Iraqi journalists-cameramen are providing almost all of the coverage of the war. All international broadcasters, including all the Arab broadcasters, are now relying on locals to get the pictures and soundbites. How are journalists staying alive in Iraq? How do sectarian concerns affect the quality of journalism? If Iraq has now descended into a civil war, how much more difficult will it be to report the story? And if a conflict develops in Iran, what lessons can be learnt from the Iraq experience?
