Product Description
Afghanistan, War and the Media: Deadlines and Frontlines explores the journalism coming out of the current Afghan war from the frontline and from the greater comfort of the library.

Contributors include: Indra Adnan, Director of the Soft Power Network, Australia Will Barton, Senior Lecturer, Coventry School of Art and Design Oliver Boyd-Barrett, Professor, Bowling Green State University, Ohio Alex Crawford, Foreign Correspondent, Sky News David Cromwell and David Edwards, Media Lens Corinne Fowler, Lecturer, Leicester University Hanan Habibzai, freelance journalist covering Afghan-related issues David Hayward, Head of the Journalism Programme for the BBC College of Journalism Phillip Knightley, author of the seminal history of war correspondents Allan Little, Special Correspondent with the BBC Tim Luckhurst, Professor of Journalism, University of Kent Alpaslan Özerdem, Professor, Coventry University Jake Lynch, University of Sydney, Kevin Marsh, Executive Editor at the BBC College of Journalism Donald Matheson, Senior Lecturer, University of Canterbury, New Zealand Annabel McGoldrick, peace journalism theorist and activist Stuart Ramsay, Sky News Chief Correspondent Vaughan Smith, independent video journalist, founder of the Frontline Club Alex Thomson, Chief Correspondent, Channel Four News John Tulloch, Professor of Journalism, University of Lincoln This book allows some of our leading practitioners of war reporting to have their say. The commentators also have theirs. It is a sobering read, to put it mildly. Huw Edwards, presenter of BBC News at Ten

As the Afghan adventure comes to its inevitable messy and bloody end,this collection of essays by practitioners and hackademics proves prescient.It was a war badly thought out,badly executed and too often badly reported-an object lesson for the military and the profession of journalism.Hadely a dull contribution in a stunning and varied collection.
