The inside story of a treasured profession, in the footsteps of Confessions of a GP and Kitchen Confidential Since making his journalistic debut breaking into Piers Morgan’s office, BBC foreign correspondent Nick Bryant has rattled Donald Rumsfeld, had tea with President Karzai, and lunched with the Tamil Tigers. Now casting a sideways glance at his own profession, Bryant divulges the day-to-day realities of life in ‘Correspondentland’ – its glamour, its quirks, and its sometimes unsavoury practices. Whether in Washington DC, offering a window onto American politics as no insider can, reporting from a slum in India, or revealing why the BBC delayed the news of Princess Diana’s death, Bryant’s perspective is inimitable and always insightful. Part memoir, part travelogue, part exposé, this is an unmissable and unique view into the world of modern reporting, and an intimate portrait of the countries Bryant has come to know.

'Nick Bryant is brilliant. He has a way of showing you what you've been missing from the whole story whilst never leaving you feeling stupid.' – Emily Maitlis 'Bryant is a genuine rarity, a Brit who understands America' – Washington Post In When America Stopped Being Great, veteran reporter and BBC New York correspondent Nick Bryant reveals how America's decline paved the way for Donald Trump's rise, sowing division and leaving the country vulnerable to its greatest challenge of the modern era. Deftly sifting through almost four decades of American history, from post-Cold War optimism, through the scandal-wracked nineties and into the new millennium, Bryant unpacks the mistakes of past administrations, from Ronald Reagan's 'celebrity presidency' to Barack Obama's failure to adequately address income and racial inequality. He explains how the historical clues, unseen by many (including the media) paved the way for an outsider to take power and a country to slide towards disaster. As Bryant writes, 'rather than being an aberration, Trump's presidency marked the culmination of so much of what had been going wrong in the United States for decades – economically, racially, politically, culturally, technologically and constitutionally.' A personal elegy for an America lost, unafraid to criticise actors on both sides of the political divide, When America Stopped Being Great takes the long view, combining engaging storytelling with recent history to show how the country moved from the optimism of Reagan's 'Morning in America' to the darkness of Trump's 'American Carnage'. It concludes with some of the most dramatic events in recent memory, in an America torn apart by a bitterly polarised election, racial division, the national catastrophe of the coronavirus and the threat to US democracy evidenced by the storming of Capitol Hill.

From the author of When America Stopped Being Great, an insightful and urgent reassessment of America's past, present and future – as a country which is forever at war with itself. The Forever War tells the story of how America's extreme polarisation is 250 years in the making, and argues that the roots of its modern-day malaise are to be found in its troubled and unresolved past. As we approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the American experiment is failing. Division, mistrust and misinformation are now the country's defining characteristics. The storming of the Capitol, the prosecution of Donald Trump and battles over gun rights and abortion raise the spectre of further political violence, and even the possibility of a second civil war. Nick Bryant explains how the hate, divisiveness and paranoia we see today are in fact a core part of America's story. Combining brilliant storytelling, historical research and first-hand reportage, Bryant argues that insurrections, massacres and civil disturbances should sadly not be seen as abnormalities; they are a part of the fabric of the history of America. The compromises originally designed to hold the union together have never truly been resolved and today, a country that once looked so confidently to the future has become captive to its contentious past.

The book studies the current trends of foreign correspondence in Europe. The EU’s expansion has had abundant effects on news coverage and some of the European capitals have become home to the biggest international press corps in world. So, who are these "professional strangers" stationed in Europe and how do they try to make their stories, that are clearly important in today’s interconnected world, interesting for viewers and readers? This book represents the first Pan-European study of foreign correspondents and their reporting. It includes chapters from 27 countries, and it aims to study them and the direction, flow and pattern of their coverage, as well as answer questions regarding the impact of new technologies on the quantity, frequency and speed of their coverage. Do more sophisticated communications tools yield better international news coverage of Europe? Or does the audience’s increasing apathy and the downsizing of the foreign bureaus offset these advances? And how do the seemingly unstoppable media trends of convergence, commercialization, concentration, and globalization affect the way Europe and individual European countries are reported?

This book takes a fresh look at the history of war reporting to understand how new technology, new ways of waging war and new media conditions are changing the role and work of today’s war correspondent. Focussing on the mechanics of war reporting and the logistical and institutional pressures on correspondents, the book further examines the role of war propaganda, accreditation and news management in shaping the evolution of the specialism. Previously neglected conflicts and correspondents are reclaimed and wars considered as key moments in the history of war reporting such as the Crimean War (1854-56) and the Great War (1914-18) are re-evaluated. The use of objectivity as the yardstick by which to assess the performance of war correspondents is questioned. The emphasis is instead placed on war as a messy business which confronts reporters and photographers with conditions that challenge the norms of professional practice. References to the ‘demise of the war correspondent’ have accompanied the growth of the specialism since the days of William Howard Russell, the so-called father of war reporting. This highlights the fragile nature of this sub-genre of journalism and emphasises that continuity as much as change characterises the work of the war correspondent. A thematically organised, historically rich introduction, this book is ideal for students of journalism, media and communication.

Réflexion sur le journalisme de guerre et ses implications. L'histoire du journalisme de guerre offre des exemples exceptionnels de courage et d'excellence, d'erreurs et de dérives aussi. Ce livre dépasse le portrait des "baroudeurs de l'info" pour soulever les grandes questions auxquelles ceux-ci ne peuvent se soustraire : comment conserver son indépendance alors que tout pousse au parti paris ? Comment gérer la peur et les risques ? Comment dire l'horreur ? Comment oser aller à contre-courant de l'actualité, pour prévenir des nuages qui s'accumulent, couvrir les "conflits oubliés" du bout du monde et revenir sur les guerres passées ? Découvrez un ouvrage qui, allant au-delà du portrait de "baroudeurs de l'info", soulève les grandes questions auxquelles les journalistes de guerre ne peuvent se soustraire ! EXTRAIT Quelques-uns, cependant, ont choisi de tout simplement dire la vérité. Lors de la guerre de Crimée (1853-56), l’envoyé spécial du Times, William Howard Russell, refusa d’encenser les généraux qui exposaient leurs propres troupes à des dangers insensés et les condamnaient à des conditions de vie infâme. « En portant à la connaissance de la nation britannique la souffrance de ces troupes, William Russell sauva les rescapés de ces grands bataillons que nous avions débarqués en septembre », s’exclama Sir Evelyn Wood, un éminent officier de sa Gracieuse Majesté. Son rédacteur en chef, John Thadeus Delane, membre éminent de l’establishment, l’appuya sans réserve et rédigea un des éditoriaux les plus fameux de l’histoire du journalisme de guerre : « L’armée la plus noble partie de nos rivages a été sacrifiée à la gabegie la plus grossière, écrivit-il. L’incompétence, la léthargie, la morgue aristocratique, la perversité et la stupidité règnent. Le Commandant en chef et son staff ont survécu sur les hauteurs de Sébastopol, ils ont été décorés, anoblis, dûment cités dépêche après dépêche, et ils rentrent chez eux pour jouir de pensions et d’honneurs au milieu des os de 50 000 soldats britanniques. » Lors de la Première Guerre mondiale, la grande presse choisit massivement le camp des généraux et elle se gagna l’hostilité des soldats parce qu’elle mentait sur la réalité de la guerre. La naissance de la « presse de tranchée », dont le fameux Canard enchaîné, s’explique aussi par ce rejet d’une presse aux ordres, qui présentait un tableau embelli de la guerre et célébrait la grandeur des gradés arrogants qui envoyaient les poilus à la boucherie. « Au fil des mois, se creusa un fossé croissant entre soldats et arrière, entre informations publiées et réalité, écrit l’historien Bernard Cahier. La presse le payera très cher après la guerre. » À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Jean-Paul Marthoz est journaliste, chroniqueur au Soir, professeur invité de journalisme international à l'Université de Louvain, auteur de nombreux ouvrages sur le journalisme international, dont Objectif Bastogne. Sur les traces des reporters de guerre américains. Il a été directeur européen de l'information de Human Rights Watch et correspondant en Europe du Committee to Protect Journalists. Il a couvert l'Amérique centrale en guerre, le Pérou du Sentier lumineux, la Colombie des narcos et pris part à des missions lors des années de plomb en Algérie, en Afrique du Sud et en Turquie.
