  • 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.

Washington, DC 20520 Re: Updated Opposition to Japan’s Requested Extradition of Michael and Peter Taylor and Request for Review of Prior Administration’s Authorization Dear Secretary Blinken: We write to you on behalf of Michael and Peter Taylor—two U.S. citizens and father and son— respectfully requesting that you review the October 2020 decision of Secretary Pompeo and his staff, and decline the Government of Japan’s request that the Taylors be extradited from their home in Massachusetts and surrendered to Japan for investigation, interrogation and prosecution for an alleged criminal offense arising out of the December 2019 departure of former Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn Bichara from Japan in violation of the conditions of his release pending trial on controversial charges of financial crimes. Under the terms of the U.S.-Japan Extradition Treaty, neither country is obligated to extradite its own citizens so a decision to surrender the Taylors is entirely optional on the part of the State Department. As detailed herein, we do not believe there is any good reason to surrender these two American citizens. The putative offense for which extradition is sought reflects an unprecedented and strained expansion of a penal statute that Japan has never applied to its own citizens in the manner it now seeks to apply it to the Taylors.
