An interesting piece of analysis of the changing role and requirements of war reporting. The author, a former soldier, sees journalists necessarily "choosing sides" just in order to stay alive while reporting on a war. This is due to the fact that combatants have realized how important is information flow, and controlling it is now a big part of waging war. As the author puts it, "Whether they like or not, journalists are in the army now." Pretty chilling thought that necessarily calls into question our received notions of journalism.

Thoughtful analysis of how journalists will cover future wars by a former USMC infantry officer. Omits increasing importance of Special Forces, but same conclusion would hold because few journalists could keep up with them physically or mentally.
