	Why War? Commentary: Securing Their Legitimacy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In James W. Carey's essay, "American journalism on, before, and after September 11," he argues that American journalists were in the midst of a "vacation from reality," one that began sometime before the 1988 presidential election and peaked with the impeachment of Bill Clinton.
		Patriotism allowed journalists to be a visible part of what they interpreted as a united nation.
		Journalism After September 11 raises many such questions about the choices of mainstream journalism, and answers few of them—yet those in the news media need to be having such debates.

	Patriotic journalism
		Patriotic journalism is used to describe a form of journalism that especially seems to occur in some countries when they are in a state of war or other major distress.
		Patriotic journalism aims at giving the home public an image of the current event that are in accordance to the views of the government, and in accordance with what is regarded as "best for the country".
		This type of journalism does not normally take on direct falsifications, but may take place through the selection of exactly which news is reported.

		One early turning point in the switch from “skeptical” journalism to “patriotic” journalism occurred in 1976 with the blocking of Rep. Otis Pike’s congressional report on CIA misdeeds.
		The practical effect of these slurs on the patriotism of journalists was to discourage skeptical reporting on Reagan’s foreign policy and to give the administration a freer hand for conducting operations in Central America and the Middle East outside public view.
		While the 57-year-old Miller may be an extreme case of mixing patriotism and journalism, she is far from alone as a member of her generation who absorbed the lessons of the 1980s, that skeptical journalism on national security issues was a fast way to put yourself in the unemployment line.

		Patriotism is love and devotion to one's country...
		It is not a maxim that watchdog journalism serves to check international organizations, foreign governments or even the country's enemies during a time of war.
		Journalism is a cult of celebrity wanna-be's that use their religious tenets as a shield to hide behind -- right before they claim the First Amendment belongs to them, as if it was a verse torn from the Bible or Koran.

	DAN RATHER AND THE PROBLEM WITH PATRIOTISM
		Such patriotism would be the antithesis of democracy; to be a citizen is to retain the right to make judgments about leader, not simply accept their authority.
		Whatever one’s assessment of the intellectual and moral status of patriotism, one thing should be readily evident: A declaration of patriotism is a declaration of a partisan political position.
		This is where patriotism is different; journalists typically agree that patriotism is a good thing and struggle in public with what it means for their work.

		As it is, the constant exaggeration of all America's faults and diminution of the faults of its enemies is not patriotism or even "reporting as a citizen of the world" -- it is in effect active collaboration with the enemy.
		Journalism is a significant component of civic life, acknowledged explicitly in the design and underlying philosophy of the U.S. and other democracies, especially Anglosphere ones.
		The primary purpose of journalism schools is to train and educate future journalists so they can do the job, and cultivate in them the habits of mind and strength of character they will need to do a good job.

	Yellow journalism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Yellow journalism is a type of journalism where sensationalism triumphs over factual reporting.
		Early practictioners, such as Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst, seem to have equated the sensational reporting of murders, gory accidents, and the like, with the need of the democratic common man to be entertained by subjects beyond dry politics.
		Probably the most famous anecdotal example of yellow journalism is often repeated as having come from William Randolph Hearst, who in 1897 sent the illustrator Frederic Remington[?] to Cuba to report on the Spanish-American War.

	Camping World Open Roads Forum: Around the Campfire: The American media and Iraq
		The inward turn of American journalism may also reflect the unwillingness of most politicians (also known as ‘leading news sources’) to risk their patriotic credentials either by questioning the values and motives behind government decisions to use force, or by crediting outsiders when they do so.
		No national news organisation was more aggressive in its patriotic support for the war – or its vitriolic condemnation of administration critics, foreign and domestic – than the Murdoch-owned Fox network.
		Because of the levels of patriotic cant from Fox reporters, anchors, and talk show hosts, many observers felt that Fox exercised a chilling effect on a competition that was worried about ratings losses among audiences allegedly swept with patriotic fervour.

	Tasca's Take - Weekly Commentary: 05/22/2005 - 05/28/2005
		Earlier this week, I expressed the opinion that journalists who do not have friends or relatives serving in the armed forces are fully capable of reporting on a war.
		However, Cole’s point highlights one of the primary downfalls of traditional journalism, where reporters are often assigned to cover a “beat” with little, or sometimes absolutely no, prior knowledge of the beat they’re supposed to cover.
		In all my years in journalism, I don't think I have met more than one or two reporters who have ever served in the military or who even had a friend in the armed forces.

		And I have noticed that all those who speak the thoughts of many, speak confidently, while those who speak their own thoughts are hesitating and timid, as though they spoke out of a mind and body grown sensitive to the edge of bewilderment among many impressions.
		Indeed, all art which appeals to individual man and awaits the confirmation of his senses and his reveries, seems, when arrayed against the moral zeal, the confident logic, the ordered proof of journalism, a trifling, impertinent, vexatious thing, a tumbler who has unrolled his carpet in the way of a marching army.
		I have founded societies with this aim, and was indeed founding one in Paris when I first met with J. Synge, and I have known what it is to be changed by that I would have changed, till I became argumentative and unmannerly, hating men even in daily life for their opinions.
