Bias

There is nothing neutral or informative in this article. It goes right from the broad introduction to criticisms. Huh? --134.29.149.85 (talk) 14:27, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps because there is nothing positive to say about it. --386-DX (talk) 01:39, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Origins

Shouldn't there be a bit more mention of the media reports in the Gulf War? (E.G. CNN and other networks) I would imagine that was the start of 'television on the frontlines'. -- Eptin 06:38, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I believe the term "embedded" was in use then as well.Ventifax (talk) 00:36, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"The United States military responded to pressure from the country's news media who were disappointed"

What a propaganda junk is that? --Leladax (talk) 14:22, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Courage and independence"

I removed that part due to the very simple fact that it sounded rather close to POV, especially since none of those words were actually mentioned in the source for the statement, neither directly or in any other way. Pavuvu (talk) 13:26, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Validity of reference 6?

In-text citation for "United States Of America and France have official banned embedded journalists, considering[6] it a dangerous act and thus recognizing that its advantages are not enough to cover its disadvantages." cites the reference entry ""embedded journalism". Encyclopedia Britannica. Retrieved 2016-03-03."" leading to an article that makes no mention of the word banned, or France. Where is this fact from? Rsong81 (talk) 15:07, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism Section - too American

It talks about the American aspect of the war. What war? It's not clear and it's not particularly general to the criticisms of embedded journalism as a concept, rather than its application in any specific war. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scotty1141 (talk • contribs) 06:51, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Campaign embeds

Embedded journalism in the United States can also refer to "campaign embeds," who follow a specific campaign (most prominently, for President) usually from start to finish.^[1] This article should be updated to add the angle of campaign embedded reporting to that of military embedded reporting.
