Successful Journalism in Japan,[object Object],“No one should underestimate the potential effects of such a catastrophe - human, political, economic.”,[object Object],Efficiently delivered the core facts,[object Object],Addressed official responses and the nation’s preparedness,[object Object],Captured severity of situation,[object Object],Coverage progressed  from focus on incident, to overarching consequences,[object Object],“Scientists said the event has reinforced a growing sense that the field of seismology needs to ditch some of its presumptions.”,[object Object]

Case Study #2,[object Object],Humanitarian Wars & War Coverage,[object Object]
America at War,[object Object]
Coverage of Iraq and Afghanistan,[object Object],Bush’s War,[object Object],“A War of Choice or Necessity?”,[object Object],“Second thoughts from Pentagon about year-end deadline to pull American soldiers from Iraq” ,[object Object],Obama’s War,[object Object],“Which Is 'The Real War'?”,[object Object],“Will we ever find Osama bin Laden? Don't count on it.” ,[object Object],“Forgotten, but not gone”,[object Object]
Bob Woodward on the Iraq War,[object Object],Reactive and proactive,[object Object],“If it’s not working, what do you do? This is the untold history of how the Bush administration wrestled with that question. Compiled from classified documents and interviews with more than 150 participants”,[object Object],“No administration willingly puts its disagreements on display, but what happened in Washington during 2006 went beyond the usual give-and-take of government.”,[object Object]
Obama and Bush: Rhetoric on Libya and Iraq,[object Object],Holding authorities accountable,[object Object],“With skillful use of language and images, President Bush and his aides have kept the American public from turning against the war in Iraq despite the swelling number of U.S. casualties there.”,[object Object],“Bush's opponents say he is building support for the Iraq war -- and himself -- by deceiving the public.”,[object Object],“All these assertions are debatable and highly disputed. But the public appears to have accepted Bush's views.”,[object Object],“President Obama has used his rhetorical and intellectual skills in the past to get himself out of a jam or boost his standing when he needed it most.”,[object Object],“He will try to do that again with his scheduled speech Monday night on the Libyan conflict.”,[object Object],The president and his most senior advisers have struggled to define the mission. They have relied on euphemisms — “time-limited, scope-limited military action” being the most widely quoted — to explain what the conflict is and isn’t, what the U.S. role is and isn’t. The results of their efforts have been mixed at best.” ,[object Object]
Libya, Iraq, and Humanitarian Wars,[object Object],Why humanitarian wars can go so wrong,[object Object],“In Libya, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, British Prime Minister David Cameron and President Obama are already beginning to confront many of the classic dilemmas that bedeviled their predecessors facing massacres and genocide in Somalia, Bosnia and Rwanda.”,[object Object],“After the United States invaded Iraq, Condoleezza Rice reportedly warned George W. Bush about Darfur: ‘I don’t think you can invade another Muslim country during this administration, even for the best of reasons.’”,[object Object],“If Western strategists saw a more complex interest in furthering the democratic impulses of the Arab revolutions, Libya still may not have seemed of paramount importance compared with, say, Egypt or Tunisia.  But what seemingly counted most in Libya was that civilians in Benghazi might, as Obama said last month, ‘suffer a massacre that would have reverberated across the region and stained the conscience of the world.’”,[object Object],“Editorials provide factual understanding of events”,[object Object],“Supplemental & interactive materials online”,[object Object]
Editorial Gone Too Far?,[object Object],President Obama’s muddled Libya policy,[object Object],Editorial Board Opinion, March 23, 2011,[object Object],“The only solution to Libya’s crisis, as Mr. Obama first recognized several weeks ago, is the removal of Mr. Gaddafi from power.”,[object Object],All this would require Mr. Obama to do something he has avoided from the beginning in Libya: Exercise U.S. leadership.,[object Object]
Kosovo,[object Object]
Conflict in Kosovo,[object Object],First War: Early 1998 until 1999 between the army and police of Yugosalvia and the Kosovo Liberation Army [KLA],[object Object],Second War: March 24, 1999 to June 11, 1999 between ethnic Albanian militants and Yugoslav forces ,[object Object],NATO supported ethnic Albanian militants [KLA] ,[object Object]
Effective Kosovo Coverage,[object Object],Holding the Government Accountable:,[object Object],“The bombs falling for a third consecutive day over Yugoslavia yesterday are the tangible consequences of what President Clinton on national television Wednesday night called his ‘lessons in Bosnia’. It took nearly four years, and the loss of some 300,000 lives before Clinton led NATO to military intervention in Bosnia in 1995. In Kosovo, the White House has acted on a series of lessons…it must lay the political basis for military action with passes at diplomacy, however remote their chances of success”,[object Object]
Ineffective Kosovo Coverage,[object Object],Ineffective and subjective language: ,[object Object],“Rebels With a Crippled Cause”                  by Peter Finn (April 23, 1999),[object Object],“New recruits arrive so raw that they can be used only for food detail.”,[object Object],“Nasty, limited and seemingly unwinnable, this is the Kosovo Liberation Army's war one month into NATO's air offensive against the Serb-controlled government of Yugoslavia.” ,[object Object],“While the battle for the future of Kosovo is far from over, it is clear that the Kosovo Liberation Army will be central to its final outcome -- just as its leadership always insisted it would be.”,[object Object]
Kosovo and Libya,[object Object],Lessons from the past:,[object Object],“When intervening against Muammar Kaddafi, Western officials take comfort in recalling the 1999 NATO air war against the Serbian occupation of Kosovo, which is viewed as a “successful” humanitarian intervention. It is widely believed that intervention protected the Kosovar people from Serb aggression, and thus alleviated the humanitarian emergency…One hopes that the recent U.S. and European air strikes will have a similarly positive impact on Libya.” -- David N. Gibbs, “Beware the pitfalls of foreign intervention”(March 25, 2011),[object Object]
Kosovo and the DC bubble,[object Object],“The Senate plans a daylong debate on the issue Monday. At a late afternoon meeting, its Republican leaders decided to seek a vote Tuesday on whether to block funds for the operation unless Congress authorizes it, according to an aide to Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.). But the vote will occur under rules requiring 60 votes for approval, which Republicans acknowledged would be difficult to get. They hold 55 of the Senate's 100 seats.” ,[object Object],		-- “Serb Aggression” by Charles Babington (March 20, 1999),[object Object]

Catching the Budget Crisis Early,[object Object],February 18th:,[object Object],“But Boehner ruled out passing a temporary funding resolution to keep the government operating unless it contained at least some spending cuts, possibly setting up a showdown with Dem leaders in the Senate, who said Boehner had increased the risk of a government shutdown”,[object Object]

Can the Washington Post Maintain it's Legacy

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Holding the government accountable for their past actionsRelating past wars to the current warsObjective coveragePositive tone
  2. This is an example of ineffective journalism due to the subjective and overly illustrative language. The language is strong, as it is in the Egypt and Libya coverage, but instead of including a balanced account of humanitarian crises, the journalists seem to overly embellish the details. The article does not provide any background information for the reader regarding the two players, even though this crisis began March 24, 1999.
  3. David N. Gibbs is a guest blogger on the Washington Post’s Political Bookworm blog.
  4. Demonstrates the prevalence of the Washington bubble and the importance of policy to the Washington Post due to the amount of space in the article devoted to the discussion of Senate policy
  5. Example on one of the strengths of the post:Constant Updates on current situationLaid out arguments for those who supported vs. those who didn’t—then divided those into Republicans and Democrats—then outlined what they are disagreeing over (abortion) and eventually a comment from Planned Parenthood.References to 2012 BudgetWhat it meant if the government really shuts down (affects on jobs, Washington D.C. district..etc.)Used Editorials to provide analysis on why each side compromised—compared Congress to college student facing term paperReferences Past Cases (Bill Clinton vs. Newt Gingrich 1995 budget showdown)Did not really talk about what this means for people OUTSIDE of washington DC
