Robert Fisk: The heroic myth and the uncomfortable truth of war reporting

http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/fisk/robert-fisk-the-heroic-myth-and-the-uncomfortable-truth-of-war-reporting-7499735.html

This is an interesting viewpoint from a reporter who has covered many wars during his prolific career.  His basic thesis is that covering wars is not about the war itself or the war victims: it has become about the reporters who cover the war.  Fisk is voicing his opinion during a 3-week span where a number of journalist have died covering the Syrian uprising.

What are your thoughts on this article?

Article's subtitle: "Like other correspondents, Robert Fisk has risked his life to 'witness history".  But after almost four decades, he feels ambivalent towards his profession."

Keywords: Independent, Robert Fisk, journalism, photojournalism, war, war correspondents, war photographer

The information is presented in a relatively accessible manner, particularly for visitors who prefer scanning headings before reading full paragraphs.

Kitchens can quickly become messy because they are used so frequently. Regular maintenance helps keep cooking and meal preparation areas more pleasant.
