Reporting War and Conflict

Reporting War and Conflict brings together history, theory and practice to explore the issues and obstacles involved in the reporting of war and conflict today. The book argues that risk is an integral part of war reporting and uses it as a prism through which to analyse how individual reporters, news organisations and society make sense of it.
