  • Intimate Perspectives from the Battlefields of Iraq
    'The Best Covered War in History': Intimate Perspectives from the Battlefields of Iraq by Andrew J. McLaughlin A thesis presented to the University Of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2017 © Andrew J. McLaughlin 2017 Examining Committee Membership The following served on the Examining Committee for this thesis. The decision of the Examining Committee is by majority vote. External Examiner Marco Rimanelli Professor, St. Leo University Supervisor(s) Andrew Hunt Professor, University of Waterloo Internal Member Jasmin Habib Associate Professor, University of Waterloo Internal Member Roger Sarty Professor, Wilfrid Laurier University Internal-external Member Brian Orend Professor, University of Waterloo ii Author's Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. iii Abstract This study examines combat operations from the 2003 invasion of Iraq War from the “ground up.” It utilizes unique first-person accounts that offer insights into the realities of modern warfare which include effects on soldiers, the local population, and journalists who were tasked with reporting on the action. It affirms the value of media embedding to the historian, as hundreds of journalists witnessed major combat operations firsthand. This line of argument stands in stark contrast to other academic assessments of the embedding program, which have criticized it by claiming media bias and military censorship. Here, an examination of the cultural and social dynamics of an army at war provides agency to soldiers, combat reporters, and innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.

  • 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.

  • CNN Anchor Speaks at OU About Finding Success
    Oakland University - News Archive - CNN anchor speaks at OU about finding success Monday, November 24, 2003 CNN anchor speaks at OU about finding success By Jeff Samoray, OU Web Writer Soledad O’Brien took an entry-level job at TV station WBZ in Boston, an NBC affiliate, in 1989. But she wasn’t reporting or writing news scripts – her main behind-the-scenes responsibility was to pull staples from the office bulletin board. Today, O’Brien co-anchors “American Morning,” CNN’s flagship morning program. Her high-profile position follows an 11-year stint with NBC. During that time, she reported for the network’s “Today Show,” covering notable events such the Columbine school shooting, the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster, the September 11 terrorist attacks, and others. She also anchored weekend editions of “NBC Nightly News” and co-anchored NBC’s weekend coverage of the war in Iraq on the network’s “Weekend Today” show. In her lecture, “The Road to Success,” hosted by Oakland University’s Student Life Lecture Board on Nov. 20, O’Brien credited her meteoric rise to hard work, the support of her family and on-the-job mentors. “When I entered this business, my idea of personal success was different from what it is today,” said O’Brien before an audience of several hundred in the Oakland Center Banquet Room. “There was a time when I thought being an anchor would be my dream come true. But there’s also more to life. My mornings begin at 3:30 a.m., but I can still pick up my daughters from pre-school and spend time with my family.

Price, President of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. The awards recognize outstanding achievement by individuals and programs broadcast during the 2002 calendar year. The News and Documentary Emmy Awards will be presented at a black-tie dinner and ceremony on Wednesday evening, September 3, 2003 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. “This year’s nominations illustrate the excellent work currently being done in the field of news & documentary,” said Price. “The hard news nominees showcase remarkable reporting on such diverse topics as international terrorism, airport security, the Israeli- Palestinian conflict, the arrest of the D.C. snipers, the brutal conflict in the Congo, and the rescue of the Pennsylvania miners. The breadth of coverage in the documentary area is equally impressive, ranging from a five-part series on the human brain to a portrait of the celebrated American landscape photographer Ansel Adams.” “We received nearly 1,500 entries, one of the largest numbers ever,” said Bill Small, Vice Chairman for News and Documentaries. “The number and range of entries
