Investigating the casualties of war

• Mark Benjamin Salon.com
• Michael De Yoanna Freelance
• Deb Nelson University of Maryland

Journalists document the true cost of war through graphic, helmet-camera footage of a deadly alleged friendly fire incident in Iraq, a surreptitious audio tape recording of a doctor admitting pressure to misdiagnose soldiers to save on benefit payments and by exposing documented war crimes buried for decades. Learn to exploit fissures in a military cover-up, handle extremely vulnerable sources and use documents and the Web to vitalize and strengthen your story.
