Your thoughts on Frontline’s ‘News War’

Posted by David Johnson on February 13, 2007

Part one of a four part series by PBS’ Frontline on the state of media and journalism has aired. The first installment largely focuses on how the media handled the march towards the Iraq War and the Plame affair. Frontline’s site is loaded with interviews and will eventually offer the whole series for online viewing (they’ll post the first part on Wednesday). It is a serious production on a serious topic, certainly worth discussing on many levels. Please leave a comment with your thoughts.

Adds Jason in comments: “I thought that it was very well done. A nice, balanced and in-depth look at the entire event, all the issues it raised and the history leading up to the confrontation. Though I followed the story originally, I acutally learned a lot that I hadn’t known previously. Well done, so far.”
