PUBLIC EVENT

Journalism and Storytelling: The Moral and Ethical Hazards of Combat Reporting

From the start of the Iraq war in 2003, the U.S. military allowed reporters to "embed" with troops fighting Saddam Hussein's army and, later, insurgents defying the occupation. The program gave journalists virtually unlimited access to tell the stories of Americans at war. It also forced reporters to confront the question: how close is too close? Explore the complexities of journalism in Iraq and subtle new forms of censorship in this compelling one-night event.
