Today's featured topic is the War in Iraq. As the war enters its sixth year, media coverage has dropped significantly — and perhaps as a result, the war increasingly appears to be fading as a primary issue in the minds of many Americans. Help us find good journalism about the war, the media, and the American people -- and review our recommended stories on the War in Iraq.
That's right, we are entering our sixth year of the war. Regardless of your political ideology - it's safe to say that war is bad. If we can avoid it, we should. But as the news reminds us this week, we are in a war in Iraq. With five years under our belt, news organizations like the New Haven Independent, are taking a well deserved look at where we are in this war.
The breaking news today, of course, is that the American death toll has now reached the 4,000 mark. Both the Associated Press and the Los Angeles Times have news articles about this milestone. If you are in the mood for contrasting, read and rate both articles - to help us determine who had better coverage of this important and sad statistic.
News, like the NY Time's article about 13 more killed in Iraq will continue. There does not appear to be an end in site to the war. Which means that the media will continue to play an important role in feeding the public quality news and information about what is happening to our soldiers overseas. This week, help us find the best journalism about the war in Iraq.
