Just a self-promoting FYI here: My review/essay on two books tackling the media’s coverage of the Iraq War is out in the current issue of In These Times. It won’t be available online through ITT until May. Once I get a final copy of the final text, it’ll be online somewhere else and I’ll give you the head’s up. But if any of y’all are particularly eager (doubtful!), pick up the new ITT at your local bookstore.
Oh, right: The essay, “The Collapse of the Fourth Estate,” looks at Greg Mitchell’s So Wrong for So Long: How the Press, the Pundits—and the President—Failed on Iraq, and When the Press Fails: Political Power and the News Media from Iraq to Katrina, co-authored by W. Lance Bennett, Regina G. Lawrence and Steven Livingston.
