THE LEBANON CONFLICT:
Reporting and Blogging it -

From yesterday's CNN
RELIABLE SOURCES -

HOWARD KURTZ, HOST: The media and the Mideast. As the death toll rises in Israel and Lebanon, are journalists being fair to both sides? How do they verify Hezbollah's claims that civilians are being indiscriminately killed? With missiles raining from the sky, what about the risks to western reporters? And is Israel's military censorship having an impact on the coverage?

Cultural divide. Why the fighting looks so different to Arab and Israeli journalists.

Plus, blogging the war.
