More About This Textbook

Overview

From Sarajevo in 1914 to Baghdad in 1990 renowned foreign correspondent Michael Emery charts the difficulties facing his American colleagues covering overseas events. He tells the 'stories behind the stories' and the pressures faced by American reporters like Marguerite Higgins and Peter Arnett. Emery demonstrates the effects of censorship, propaganda, and 'disinformation' and argues for an independent and well-trained foreign press corps.

Editorial Reviews

Columbia Journalism Review
...a good story with a moral center...a series of clearly focused case studies...
The Jerusalem Times
Emery's factual record of the work of journalists all over the world make vivid and compulsive reading. His gripping writing, in effect, will appeal to everyone interested in discovering the hardships journalists have to face in order to get the truth.
Nieman Reports
Emery's best contribution is his research into the work of many American foreign correspondents.
Journal of American History
His book is meticulously researched, and he is not afraid to speak forthrightly on controversial matters, such as the special treatment Israel receives in the press. That is refreshing; all the more because what he says generally makes sense.
