    ABSTRACT Title of Document: DEGREES OF ACCESS: FACTORS PREVENTING WIDE-SCOPE COVERAGE OF THE IRAQ WAR BY EMBEDDED REPORTERS—FROM “SHOCK AND AWE” TO “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED” (MARCH 21 - MAY 1, 2003) Submitted by: Lindsay Reed Walton Candidate, Master of Arts in Journalism Directed By: Linda Steiner, Ph.D. Professor, Phillip Merrill College of Journalism Reporters “embedded” with U.S. military units during the first two months of the Iraq War (2003-) dealt with a number of impediments the combination of which was previously unseen in the history of war reporting. These included physical proximity, bonding, and shared peril with American soldiers, informal self-censorship based on “ground rules,” and technological capacity for real-time visual transmission of reportage. These and other factors such as travel restrictions and post-9/11 editorial bias prevented “embeds” from seeing anything but a narrow slice of the war.
