News War: Secrets, Sources & Spin

by Democracy Now (reposted)
Frontline producer Raney Aronson discusses the new documentary series examining the relationship between the Bush administration and the press. The series called “News Wars” will begin airing on PBS tomorrow night. Part one of the series examines the political and legal forces challenging the mainstream news media. The second part looks at the legal jeopardy faced by a number of reporters across the country and interviews reporters facing jail time for refusing to reveal their sources. One of the journalists interviewed is Josh Wolf. Frontline talked to him before he went to jail. In a moment we will be joined by Frontline producer Raney Aronson. But first – let's go to an excerpt from the Frontline series “News War.”
