Where Have All the Embeds Gone?

David Botti

Editor and Publisher mentioned in a recent article that the number of journalists embedded with U.S. forces in Iraq is currently around only a dozen.

The article was prompted by the expulsion of photojournalist Zoriah Miller when he took pictures of dead marines after a recent bombing in the Anbar province. While the marines said Miller broke clearly stated rules for what can be photographed by embedded journalists, Miller argued on his blog that because the marines could not be identified in the photos he'd done nothing wrong. Miller has chronicled his side of the story throughout many recent posts to his blog.
