On today’s Your Call, it’s our Friday media roundtable. This week, we’ll discuss coverage of the escalation of sectarian violence in Iraq. How are the media connecting the violence in Iraq today to the 2003 US invasion and occupation? American reporters have flocked to Baghdad. What have they learned from 2003? We’ll be joined by the Financial Times’ BorzouDaraghahi, McClatchy’s Mark Seible and the Center for Investigative Reporting’s Aaron Glantz. Join the conversation on the next Your Call, with Holly Kernan and you.
