A personal journey through some of the darkest moments of the cold war and the early days of television news
Marvin Kalb, the award-winning journalist who has written extensively about the world he reported on during his long career, now turns his eye on the young man who became that journalist. Chosen by legendary broadcaster Edward R. Murrow to become one of what came to be known as the Murrow Boys, Kalb in this newest volume of his memoirs takes readers back to his first days as a journalist, and what also were the first days of broadcast news.
Kalb captures the excitement of being present at the creation of a whole new way of bringing news immediately to the public. And what news. Cold War tensions were high between Eisenhower's America and Khrushchev's Soviet Union. Kalb is at the center, occupying a unique spot as a student of Russia tasked with explaining Moscow to Washington and the American public. He joins a cast of legendary figures along the way, from Murrow himself to Eric Severeid, Howard K. Smith, Richard Hottelet, Charles Kuralt, and Daniel Schorr among many others. He finds himself assigned as Moscow correspondent of CBS News just as the U2 incident--the downing of a US spy plane over Russian territory--is unfolding.
As readers of his first volume, The Year I Was Peter the Great, will recall, being the right person, in the right place, at the right time found Kalb face to face with Khrushchev. Assignment Russia sees Kalb once again an eyewitness to history--and a writer and analyst who has helped shape the first draft of that history.
Kalb witnessed and interpreted many of the defining events of the Cold War. In Assignment Russia he ultimately finds himself assigned as Moscow correspondent for CBS News just as the U-2 incident--the downing of a U.S. spy plane over Russian territory--is unfolding. Kalb brings alive once again the tension that surrounded that event, and the reportorial skills deployed to illuminate it.
Like The Year I Was Peter the Great, the first volume in a series of memoirs narrating his earlier life, Assignment Russia brings us Kalb once again as an eyewitness to history--and a writer and analyst who has helped shape the first draft of that history.

Описание: Suppressed is the book the media would prefer you not read. The book may change the way you read a newspaper, listen to the radio, watch TV, or consume digital media. Please look at the Follow the Author Page for videos by Robert M. Smith. Incisive behind-the-scenes details about the Times and other media outlets. -- Publishers Weekly A forthright indictment of the media's shortcomings. -- Kirkus Reviews Half of all Americans do not trust the media, and many Americans believe the media are to blame for the country's division. The U.S. ranks dead last of all countries in media trust. But no one in the media is talking about this. This well-reviewed book tells you why and shows you the inside of the media machine. It includes a look behind the scenes at some of the biggest stories in the history of journalism. The author -- a former New York Times White House and investigative correspondent -- was there and is ruthlessly honest about what he saw. In fact, the author unearthed Watergate before Woodward and Bernstein, but saw the story ignored by the New York Times Washington Bureau when he gave it to them. Margaret Sullivan, media critic for the Washington Post, called the book a "very engaging read." Smith is an attorney and barrister who has written a law book for lawyers. This is a different kind of book, but it is written with the same careful attention to the evidence. Coming to the present, Suppressed shows how some media, including the New York Times, stepped into the ring and began slugging it out with President Trump, instead of staying outside the ring and neutrally reporting what it saw. The book argues that the media would have been more effective if it had remained neutral -- and credible. On the other hand, Times stock dropped 17 percent in the first two quarters of 2021, after President Trump left. During the same time the S&P 500 index rose 18 percent. The book offers entertaining tidbits -- some hard to believe -- but also shows you how to be a knowledgeable consumer of something that you spend time on every day and depend on. Written with candor and humor, Suppressed traces a young investigative reporter's arc from naпvetй to cynicism, from covering the White House to leaving journalism for Yale Law School and ultimately becoming a barrister in London and teaching at Oxford.

Автор: Lindsay Palmer Название: Becoming the Story: War Correspondents since 9/11 ISBN: 0252041569 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780252041563 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 91960.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: The September 11 attacks produced great changes in journalism and the lives of the people who practiced it. Foreign reporters felt surrounded by the hate of American colleagues for "the enemy." Americans in combat areas became literal targets of anti–U.S. sentiment. Behind the lines, editors and bureau chiefs scrambled to reorient priorities while feeling the pressure of sending others into danger.
Becoming the Story examines the transformation of war reporting in the decade after 9/11. Lindsay Palmer delves into times when print or television correspondents themselves received intense public scrutiny because of an incident associated with the work of war reporting. Such instances include Daniel Pearl’s kidnapping and murder; Bob Woodruff’s near-fatal injury in Iraq; the expulsions of Maziar Bahari and Nazila Fathi from Iran in 2009; the sexual assault of Lara Logan; and Marie Colvin’s 2012 death in Syria. Merging analysis with in-depth interviews of Woodruff and others, Palmer shows what these events say about how post-9/11 conflicts transformed the day-to-day labor of reporting. But they also illuminate how journalists’ work became entangled with issues ranging from digitization processes to unprecedented hostility from all sides to the political logic of the War on Terror.

This book engages with the Chinese mediation of wars and conflicts in the global environment.
Proposing a new cascading media and conflict model, it applies this to the study
of war correspondents from six levels: media-policy relations, journalistic objectivity, role
perceptions, news framing and peace/war journalism, news practices, and audience.
Based on interviews with 23 Chinese journalists and case study analysis of the Libyan War,
Syrian War, Afghanistan War and Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the book demonstrates that
a new breed of Chinese war correspondents has emerged today. They undergo a complex
and nuanced mediated communication process. Neither traditionally Chinese in their
approach nor western in their perceptions, they are uniquely pragmatic in negotiating their
roles in a complex web of internal and external actors and factors. The core ideology seemsto be anti-West in defiance of the US hegemony and the bias of global media as well as
neutral-Muslims.
Exploring the role perceptions, values, norms and practices of contemporary Chinese war
correspondents who go outside China to bring the ‘distant culture’ back home, this text is key
reading for scholars and students in international journalism, international communication,
war and peace studies, international relations and Chinese studies.
