BRAESTRUP : Big story (ajánló)
Using Tet as a case history in depth of the portrayal of the war in Vietnam, Peter Braestrup – who covered the war himself for both the New York Times and the Washington Post – has compiled a remarkable document that reflects the analysis of millions of words published in newspapers and news magazines and broadcast over radio and television; the examination of thousands of feet of TV film; and interviews with scores of participants in Vietnam. Reportage by leading journalists appears in the work, and their reports and commentaries are matched, not against official claims or a critic's polemics, but against the facts and resources available to news organizations at the time the original accounts were written. This is a landmark work – the first dispassionate analysis of the role of the U.S. press in the Vietnam war, and the most extensive study ever made of print and electronic news coverage of a major event.
Peter Braestrup joined the Washington Post in 1968 as Saigon bureau chief. He previously covered Algeria, Paris, and Southeast Asia for the New York Times and was a member of the Times's Washington bureau. He is now editor of publications for the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars at the Smithsonian.
