  • Embedded Reporters: What Are Americans Getting?
    Embedded Reporters: What Are Americans Getting? For More Information Contact: Tom Rosenstiel, Director, Project for Excellence in Journalism Amy Mitchell, Associate Director Matt Carlson, Wally Dean, Dante Chinni, Atiba Pertilla, Research Nancy Anderson, Tom Avila, Staff Embedded Reporters: What Are Americans Getting? Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has suggested we are getting only “slices” of the war. Other observers have likened the media coverage to seeing the battlefield through “a soda straw.” The battle for Iraq is war as we’ve never it seen before. It is the first full-scale American military engagement in the age of the Internet, multiple cable channels and a mixed media culture that has stretched the definition of journalism. The most noted characteristic of the media coverage so far, however, is the new system of “embedding” some 600 journalists with American and British troops. What are Americans getting on television from this “embedded” reporting? How close to the action are the “embeds” getting? Who are they talking to? What are they talking about? To provide some framework for the discussion, the Project for Excellence in Journalism conducted a content analysis of the embedded reports on television during three of the first six days of the war. The Project is affiliated with Columbia University and funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts. The embedded coverage, the research found, is largely anecdotal. It’s both exciting and dull, combat focused, and mostly live and unedited. Much of it lacks context but it is usually rich in detail. It has all the virtues and vices of reporting only what you can see.

In the wake of Hurricane Alex, officials are getting their first close look at the damage from the storm and the possible long-term effects. NBC New chief environmental affairs correspondent Anne Thompson joins us again tonight from Venice, Louisiana. Good evening, Anne. ANNE THOMPSON reporting: Good evening, Kate.

  • 2020 Silver Circle Program
    Silver Circle VIRTUAL CEREMONY Sunday, August 30, 2020 Silver Circle Presented by The Suncoast Chapter of The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences The Silver Circle recognizes individuals who have devoted a quarter of a century or more to the television industry, a significant part of which was done in the Suncoast region of the State of Florida, Mobile, Alabama, the State of Louisiana and Puerto Rico television markets. VIRTUAL CEREMONY Sunday, August 30, 2020 President’s Welcome On behalf of the Board of Governors and Officers of the Suncoast Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, I would like to welcome you to the 2020 Silver Circle virtual presentation. We wish we could be in one room this afternoon, as we usually are when we recognize our Silver Circle recipients. But this year has brought an unprecedented set of challenges that have converged like no other moment in our lifetime and have forced us to celebrate together but apart. Certainly, our honorees are no strangers to unprecedented events. Their journalistic integrity and excellence bringing viewers some of the most notable and extraordinary news stories over the course of 25 years is nothing short of remarkable. Whether covering hurricanes and their devastating aftermath, to senseless shootings that took away the lives of innocent children, to watching helplessly as the twin towers collapsed. Over the last 25 years, they have also covered news events that have brought communities together. From Pope John Paul II’s visit to Cuba and the first U.S. tour of Pope Francis, to interviews with world leaders, or larger than life athletes representing our country in Olympic games and people from all walks of life sharing their stories.
