دانلود کتاب Becoming the Story: War Correspondents since 9/11

The September 11 attacks produced sea changes in journalism and the lives of the people who practiced it. Foreign reporters felt surrounded by the hate of American colleagues for œthe enemy. ? Americans in combat areas became literal targets of anti “U.S. sentiment. Behind the lines, editors and bureau chiefs scrambled to re-orient priorities while feeling the pressure of sending others into danger. Becoming the Story examines the transformation of war reporting in the decade after 9/11. Lindsay Palmer delves into times when print or television correspondents themselves received intense public scrutiny because of an incident associated with the work of war reporting. Such instances include Daniel Pearl 's kidnapping and murder; Bob Woodruff 's near-fatal injury in Iraq; the expulsions of Maziar Bahari and Nazila Fathi from Iran in 2009; the sexual assault of Lara Logan; and Marie Colvin 's 2012 death in Syria. Merging analysis with in-depth interviews of Woodruff and others, Palmer shows what these events say about how post-9/11 conflicts transformed the day-to-day labor of reporting. But they also illuminate how journalists ' work became entangled with issues ranging from digitization processes to unprecedented hostility from all sides to the political logic of the War on Terror.
