The War Correspondent's Changing Role

How the technology, the risk environment, and the news organization's risk tolerance have changed what war correspondents do and what they can report

The War Correspondent's Changing Role

The war correspondent's role has changed in three specific ways over the past decade that have collectively transformed what conflict journalism produces: the technology that allows citizen journalism and social media to provide the immediate visual documentation that war correspondents historically provided exclusively; the specific risk environment that asymmetric conflicts and deliberate targeting of journalists has created; and the news organization's risk tolerance that has declined as the liability and reputational costs of correspondent casualties have increased.

The Detail

The technology change: the smartphone has made the exclusive war correspondent image a historical artifact. The citizen journalism and social media that document conflict in real time have reduced the news organization's competitive advantage from exclusive visual access. The war correspondent's distinctive contribution is now contextual knowledge, source relationships, and the ability to verify and interpret the social media content rather than the exclusive production of it. The UK's Three-Letter Designation: GBR in Olympics provides context.

The Analysis

JournoNews covers the war correspondent's changing role because conflict journalism is the journalism whose accountability function is most consequential and whose conditions are most dangerous, and because the changes in how that journalism is done have implications for what it can and cannot produce.
