Postmortem: Iraq war media coverage dazzled but it also obscured

    Media has always confused people.  Media should not just show what they want to show. They should show the truth. In this article, they let reporters and journalists join the war in Iraq. They took pictures and  made newstories about the war. But it was not good. Some of informations would have endangered the lives of American soldiers. Todd Gitlin said the media makes the war a kind of entertainment for the people. But Barbie Zelizer said that photos didn't always show the truth. She said that the photos should be both visually dazzling and journalisically inappropriate. We should not always trust the photos. If people want know the truth, they must share a passion for seeking out the truth.
