Preferred term

frontline reporting  

Definition

  • Sometimes called “history's first draft,” journalism presents its stories to an audience contemporary to, directly affected by, and able to affect these events. Although reporting from the front lines may have little direct impact on the course of a war, frontline journalism does bring American civilians as close to battle as most of them will ever get.
