'...it will appeal not only to students of journalism and media but
also to anyone interested in the world around them' - Marie Kinsey,
Times Higher Education Supplement 'Professor Tumber weaves together
traditional and topical themes to produce a comprehensive overview
of the media's role at times of conflict' - Stewart Purvis, City
University London 'Presents a vivid picture of what it's like to be
working as a journalist on the front line during a 'modern' war.
Through the eyes of leading correspondents in the field the authors
examine their experience and its impact on the audience, their
profession and their own lives' - The Information Centre about
Asylum and Refugees in the UK (ICAR) Journalists Under Fire is the
first book to combine a conceptually audacious analysis of the
changing nature of war with an empirically rich critical analysis
of journalists who cover conflict. In Journalists Under Fire,
authors Howard Tumber and Frank Webster explore questions about the
information war and journalistic practices. Frontline
correspondents play a key role in information war, but their
position is considerably more ambiguous and ambivalent than in the
epoch of industrial war. They play a central role in the
presentation of what is often spectacle to audiences around the
world whose actual experience of war is far removed from combat. In
the era of multi-national journalism, of the internet and satellite
videophone, the book highlights central features of media reporting
in contemporary conflict. Drawing on over fifty lengthy interviews
with frontline correspondents, the authors shed light on the
motivations, fears and practices of those who work under conditions
of journalism under fire. Journalists Under Fire is designed for
undergraduate and postgraduate students and for scholars, academics
and researchers in the fields of journalism, media and
communication, Media Studies, sociology, international relations
and war studies.
