The book combines reflection on this personal experience with an assessment of other accounts of journalism in wartime, and academic studies on the subject.
Reviews / Votes
'The blend of experience, anecdote and analysis that James Rodgers offers in this book will make it a firm recommendation for journalism courses for some time to come.' - Journal of Media Practice '[The book is] an ideal starting place for students coming to journalism either at BA level or, with knowledge and experience from earlier study or work, at MA level. But it is also going to be valuable for academics and researchers in other fields (notably politics and international relations) whose subject areas are the focus of conflict reporting but who don't know how it works...the author has succeeded in the world of journalism and can now apply a wide-ranging knowledge drawn from experience and measure it alongside academic study.' - Keith Somerville, africajournalismtheworld.com Listen to an interview with author James Rodgers here: bit.ly/THiNMoMore details
