Journalism in Time of War

An archive of stories on the wartime press from January to May 2003.

Press performance in the second Gulf War became a major story itself, as evidenced by the number of articles on the media. As the Pentagon moved to allow reporters the chance to go along side military units, the press promised the most close, immediate coverage of any war to date. The results ranged from to telling to tragedy. Here are links to over 500 stories on the media that the Project for Excellence in Journalism collected through the conflict.
