news coverage since 9/11

Summary

No Questions Asked takes an overarching view of media coverage from the day of the 9/11 attacks through the war in Iraq. It also compares and contrasts the U.S. versus international media coverage of key events during this period. Fact-based rather than polemic, the book explains why journalists responded the way they did during wartime and explores the ramifications for democracy of a weak press
