But where’s the information?
24th March 2003 by Simon
There are 500 journalists travelling with US forces, but from what I saw on US TV, the result is huge amounts of footage but very little informative content. The Washington Post has an interesting piece on this:
“I find it like salted nuts — very tasty and almost empty of high-quality nourishment,” said Alex Jones, director of Harvard’s Shorenstein press center. “We’re seeing dramatic pictures of racing across the desert, but I don’t think that tells me anything that is really important about what’s going on.“I haven’t seen any destroyed tanks. I haven’t seen any dead bodies. I haven’t seen any disturbing images,” said Jones. From the Pentagon’s point of view, “it’s been one magnificent recruitment video.”
