“Never in the fifty years that I have been in or around the
news business have I read a better record of a historic
event than this.”—Reese Schonfeld, founding president of CNN “This should be required reading in every journalism class
from high school to graduate school.”—James W. Crawley,
president of Military Reporters and Editors Following in the footsteps of best-selling books about the
war, Reporting Iraq is a fully illustrated narrative history
of the war by the world’s best-known reporters and
photojournalists. Included are contributions from fifty
journalists, including Dexter Filkins (the New York Times
correspondent who won widespread praise for his coverage of
Fallujah), Rajiv Chandrasekaran (author of Imperial Life in
the Emerald City), Anthony Shadid (the Washington Post
reporter awarded a Pulitzer Prize for his Iraq reporting),
and Patrick Cockburn (from London’s Independent). In this, the first book to tell the history of the war
through the end of 2006, the deadliest period of conflict,
we learn that most journalists saw a disaster in Iraq before
they were allowed to report it. This revelation, along with
hundreds of untold first-person stories, makes Reporting
Iraq a fascinating look at the war and an important critique
of international press coverage. Reporting Iraq is published in conjunction with the Columbia
Journalism Review, America’s premier media monitor and
watchdog of the press in all its forms, from newspapers and
magazines to radio, television, wire services, and the web.
