Press Think
A White House correspondent writes to
Jay Rosen after reading his Sept. 5
column: "I have to tell you that your suggestion that the White House press corps -- or its 'pool' representatives -- not cover the president when he goes into a war zone struck me as curious. ...Well, there are two phrases that I'd like to pass along to your readers." They are "body watch" and SSRO ("suddenly shots rang out"). Reporters want to be around if something happens to the president, of course.
