Welcome to the world of consolidated media.

The Globe can say all it wants re: cost-savings and I’m sure closing Baghdad doesn’t hurt their bottom line but my gut hunch is the real reason for the closing is safety especially with what seems likely to be a full-scale civil war breaking out any time soon. This is not WW2 or even Vietnam where the US miltary felt a sense of protectiveness towards the press. My sense is that the military would just as sson fight this war by keeping the public in the dark. Already in a war that was supposed to be “over” almost before it began more newspersons have been killed than were killed in the entire Vietnam War! And there have even been rumors that the press was specifically targetted.

Its becoming even gloomier since my previous post. Dan Kennedy (Northeastern U prof and former media critic for the Phoenix) has this post today:
==================================
A WAR ON THE MEDIA
What ought to worry all of us is that Iraq may be making its final descent
into utter chaos, and that fewer and fewer reporters will be willing (or
alive) to tell the story. I don’t mean to exaggerate — there are still
plenty of journalists in Iraq. But with each kidnapping, with each murder,
there is less incentive for reporters to take risks and get beyond the
relative safety of the hotels in which they are holed up.
=================================
He continues with more detail and analysis at .
Also on the way home I heard the kidnappers of Jill Carroll have renewed their demands and are holding to the original schedule of killing her Sunday if these demands are not met.
