Embedded journalism – challenges of accuracy and impartiality

Hybrid-Event

War and crisis reporting has dramatically changed in the course of the last two decades. Increasingly reporters are becoming targets of warring factions and the challenges of accurate reporting are growing. This has an effect on the way stories are reported and what kind of information or perspective is being shown to the audience. More and more reporters are “embedded” with the one or the other faction in a conflict, often unable to report from the other side. This has an effect on the portrayal of a conflict and its perception, and indirectly impacts the freedom of the press and an important civil right.
