No sense at all

Article Abstract:

Detailing inexperienced reporters to cover war zones shows a lack of sense on the part of some media outfits. Most reporters have little knowledge of how to keep themselves away from harm. Instead, they prefer to be aware of the technicalities of their job. They also tend to give less importance to uniforms that can save their lives. However, television crews and still photographers are more at risk than print journalists. Stupidity, ignorance and panic can also lead to death. War coverage should be left to experienced reporters.

The turning point that wasn't; changes in American views on the Vietnam War were building long before Tet

Article Abstract:

The number of dead US soldiers killed in the Vietnam War had surpassed 10,000 and was accelerating even as the press had begun to suggest that the war would continue for several more years. The nation was already restive and American views were changing way before the Viet Cong Tet offensive, which occurred as the presidential election of 1968 approached. The Tet campaign is frequently remembered as the classic example of the decisive role of the media in the television age.
