This debate has been interesting all along. Debates of this kind are badly needed. It is good for our institutions; it is good for democracy; it is good for everybody that aims at approaching the truth, however elusive it may be. But, in the last analysis, it is good for America and Israel proper, as it increases their awareness about the greatest of the issues of the 21st century.

Hi Idrees,
I was wondering if you could recomend me any reading on the main influences upon the media model of war reporting? Cheers.

Hi Pete. I’m afraid I don’t follow academic debates on the issue, however, I can recommend two of the best critical views on war reporting. 1) John MacArthur’s ‘Second Front: Censorship and Propaganda in the Gulf War’, and Philip Knightley’s ‘The First Casualty: The War Correspondent as Hero and Myth-maker from the Crimea to Iraq’.
Also check out Norman Solomon and Sean Penn’s excellent film: ‘War Made Easy’.
