The Pentagon's decision to allow journalists to accompany military units in Iraq has produced a new standard of openness and immediacy for war coverage. In Iraq, journalists literally see the war from the same point of view as the army that feeds them both information and rations. Join Mike Cerre of ABC news, Phil Bronstein of the SF Chronicle and Robert Calo of UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism, as they discuss embedding and the challenges of conveying unbiased, accurate information in wartime.
INFORUM is a division of The Commonwealth Club and the leading platform for young people who want to meet and talk about the issues facing their generation. INFORUM events are open to all.
