Synopsis: 'Press At War' reveals that a major reason for this carnage is actually money, and asks what kind of war reporting is demanded in the world's mass media. Big American networks pursuing CNN's success have huge budgets and their crews are able to film safely almost anywhere. Every news desk in the world can buy these exceptional reports, yet smaller companies want to send their own journalists - they know it is unethical to rely solely on other companies for footage. However, tight budgets mean that journalists at smaller companies have access to far fewer safety measures. The result is more unnecessary deaths each year. We talk to a Swedish cameraman who lost an eye, the parents of an Italian journalist killed in Somalia, and journalists who both work for big companies and as freelancers.
