Editorial Reviews

Review

"[Simpson and Cot& eacute;] offer a revised doctrine: that journalists at an accident or a disaster refrain from commando tactics and even try to be helpful, that victims should get respect and scrupulous coverage...and that journalists themselves can become secondary victims." -- Columbia Journalism Review

Review

" Covering Violence is an invaluable resource for use in newsrooms and in journalism classes throughout the country. The real-life examples and eyewitness accounts from media professionals greatly strengthen this second edition. The practical 'how to' approach on such issues as crossing cultural borders and doing sensitive interviews continues to be the backbone of this pioneering work." -- Sherry Ricchiardi, senior writer, American Journalism Review, and professor of journalism, Indiana University
