Bell, Martin,  1938- <br/><br/>
War and the death of news :  reflections of a grade B reporter / 
Martin Bell. 
 - 295 pages, 8 unnumbered pages of plates :  illustrations (colour) 
<br/><br/> Martin Bell has stood in war zones as both a soldier and a journalist. From Vietnam to Bosnia to Iraq, he has witnessed first-hand the dramatic changes in how conflicts are fought and how they are reported. He has seen the truth degraded in the name of balance and good taste - grief and pain censored so the viewers are not disturbed.<br/><br/>In an age of international terror, where journalists themselves have become targets, more and more reports are issued from the sidelines. The dominance of social media has ushered in a post-truth world: Twitter rumours and unverifiable videos abound, and TV news seeks to entertain rather than inform.<br/><br/>In this compelling account, one of the outstanding journalists of our time provides a moving, personal account of war and issues an impassioned call to put the substance back in our news.  https://oneworld-publications.com/war-and-the-death-of-news-hb.html
