Focusing on the period from the Vietnam War to the current Iraq
conflict, Utley will discuss the dramatic changes in how the media
covers events and the implications of those changes. He will examine the
differences between being "embedded" in Vietnam and Iraq, the tremendous
volume of information available to us and what it means for history, and
our ability to access news and information.
