Reporting Iraq
News outlets tell us what is happening in Iraq, but they rarely reveal anything about what it's like to be the person getting the stories. Reporting Iraq offers a narrative history of the war from the March 2003 invasion through the summer of 2006 as seen through the eyes of fifty reporters, photographers, translators, and stringers on the ground. Leonard speaks with contributor Richard Engel live from Iraq, along with editor John Palattella and New York Times reporter Anne Barnard. They'll share their first-person accounts, revealing new insights both on the war itself and the way the international press has been covering it.

I believe the mainstream US press had been poorly reporting on Iraq in that it sill frames the situation with the blanket statement of being a "war" with Coalition forces vs Insurgents. I believe this is incorrect (simply follows the Bush Administration's warped perspective) and too general and fails to touch on the complicated and convoluted dynamics of the conflicts existing with religous sects, militias, etc.
Has the mainstream international press followed the US pattern or do they provide more precise analysis?
