Based on your readings and thoughts on embedded journalism, respond to the following:

• In your opinion, do journalists lose their objectivity when they observe a conflict or confrontation and are embedded in one side of it?
• Embedded reporters may come to identify with the soldiers and police officers around who are also protecting them. Would that affect their objectivity? Provide examples to illustrate your answers.

Synthesize your primary response into a 250– 350 word post. Using the APA format, provide at least one reference citation for a credible source outside the textbook such as a research article, a book, or a credible website. Be sure to review your writing for grammar and spelling before posting.
