How is reporting different and why does it seem there are so few war reporters?
In: 1
Well one response i haven’t seen is that there are fewer wars that the US is participating in. The Vietnam War was the first to be widely televised and of course there were many reporters: it was a decade-long war that was fought so intensely we instituted a draft. I understand we ‘just’ got out of Afghanistan not too long ago, but the intensity of that war paled in comparison to Vietnam, especially after we pulled out most of our troops. There are reporters for the Ukranian War, and if you watch the National news, you’ll see their efforts. But considering that war does not directly impact the US, there’s less interest in the war.
