How your news gets to you.

A friend sent this link over to me. This journalist working in Iraq gives us a step by step look at how news gets from Iraq to our papers here in America. It's pretty revealing, and gives good insight as to why most of the news is negative.
The thing that really caught me, though, was how fast news about a negative event can reach reporters here. It might be minutes between a roadside bomb detonating and the report landing on an editor's desk. Welcome to the 21st century.
