Willbanks, Committee Member ____________________________ Dr. Robert F. Baumann, Committee Member ____________________________ Dr. Maria Carlson, Committee Member ____________________________ Dr. Jacob W. Kipp, Committee Member Date approved: April 27, 2009 ii PREFACE Generals have often been reproached with preparing for the last war instead of for the next–an easy gibe when their fellow-countrymen and their political leaders, too frequently, have prepared for no war at all. Preparation for war is an expensive, burdensome business, yet there is one important part of it that costs little–study. However changed and strange the new conditions of war may be, not only generals, but politicians and ordinary citizens, may find there is much to be learned from the past that can be applied to the future and, in their search for it, that some campaigns have more than others foreshadowed the coming pattern of modern war.1 — Field Marshall Viscount William Slim.

  • Fixers and Foreign Correspondents: News Production and Autonomy
    Fixers and foreign correspondents: news production and autonomy Murrell, Colleen. 2009. Fixers and foreign correspondents: news production and autonomy, Australian Journalism Review, vol. 31, no. 1, pp. 5-17. ©2009, Journalism Education Association Reproduced with permission. Downloaded from DRO: http://hdl.handle.net/10536/DRO/DU:30016714 DRO Deakin Research Online, Deakin University’s Research Repository Deakin University CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B Fixers and foreign correspondents: news production and autonolt1.y Colleen Murrell Abstract The television foreign correspondent s licence to roam and generate news is increasingly under threat. This paper concentrates on the micro production processes of today s correspondent as he or she goes about thejob ofnews gathering "on the road", and considers the changing na­ ture ofthe correspondent s autonomy. It inserts the missing character in foreign newsgathering - the locally hired fixer - and explores how this person affects the correspondents autonomy. An analysis of interviews with 20 foreign correspondents and five fixers leads to the conclusion that the foreign correspondent is rarely the sole editorial figure on the road but is instead the main actor representing the creative interplay of a succession offixers or "local producers". This deconstruction of the ways in which a correspondent builds an ad-hoc newsgathering team each time he or she lands in a new place allows for a deeper under­ standing ofthe modus operandi ofreporters. Introduction When it comes to sharing the credit, I think that it is one of the high crimes in journalism, for western and non-western producers and fixers and translators to not share the credit. Because obviously with foreign correspondency and also with television, it is team work, it is not a single individual.

ROSENTHAL Editor JANE MORAN Music by MICHAEL YEZERSKI Associate Producer ANDREW MACDONALD • SCREEN AUSTRALIA /PRESENTS A PENANCE FILMS / WOLFHOUND PICTURES PRODUCTION IN ASSOCIATION WITH SCREEN QUEENSLAND AND FOXTEL ONLY THE DEAD One Line Synopsis What happens when one of the most feared, most hated terrorists on the planet chooses you—personally—to reveal his arrival on the global stage? All in the midst of the American war in Iraq? Short Synopsis Theatrical feature documentary Only the Dead is the story of what happens when one ordinary man, an Australian journalist transplanted into the Middle East by the reverberations of 9/11, butts into history. It is a journey that courses through the deepest recesses of the Iraq war, revealing a darkness lurking in his own heart. A darkness that he never knew was there. The invasion of Iraq has ended, and the Americans are celebrating victory. The year is 2003. The international press corps revel in the Baghdad “Summer of Love”, there is barely a spare hotel room in the entire city. Reporters of all nationalities scramble for stories; of the abuses of Saddam’s fallen regime; of WMD’s, of reconstruction, of liberation. There are pool parties, and restaurant outings, and dinner-party circuits. Occasionally, Coalition forces are attacked, but always elsewhere, somewhere in the background.
