Conclusion

For our group personally, we believe that the media coverage of the War in Iraq is too much. We believe that the mistake of Geraldo Rivera should not have occurred and could have been prevented, if information being reported wad reviewed before broadcasting. Such mistakes as Geraldo did, could end up in more casualties by giving secret information about where our troops are stationed. As for the issue with children and the war coverage, there is an age limit in which we feel should be drawn for what children should be watching about the war's media coverage! This war is reality and we are not saying to shield the children from reality but rather the violence of the war coverage. This report was very intriguing for all of us, to realize the pros and cons of war coverage and experiencing the interviews first hand really opened the door of reality for us!
