War Can Turn Correspondents Into Celebrities:
A well-done job of war reporting can make a career. Many 20th-century conflicts produced journalists who became household names. Recent wars, however, have produced fewer such celebrities: With so many reporters in the field and so many available news outlets, competition for notice is fierce. In the Iraq war, some troops became reporters, communicating with friends and relatives via e-mail. Some even filed dispatches on blogs. |
