WILMINGTON — Pettee Memorial Library presents “Journalism and War Coverage,” a Vermont Humanities Council event, on Saturday, Aug. 16, at 7 p.m.
The venue is Memorial Hall, 14 West Main St.
It may take years for a war's objective truth to be told. It is challenging enough for a reporter to cover city hall without the obstacles of bullets and bombs. Presenter Mark Timney, who explores war news coverage from the American Civil War on, explains this and more.
Timney also will take up the effect of new technologies and the practice of embedding reporters for war reporting.
Timney, who teaches at Keene State College, is an award-winning mass communication practitioner and educator with more than 20 years of professional experience.
This presentation is sponsored by the Vermont Humanities Council through its Speakers Bureau program. It is free, open to the public, and accessible to people with disabilities.
