OTM story on wounded Marine photo

In case you don't know about it, the NPR program "On The Media" is an excellent weekly 1-hour show examining the current issues of journalism. I listen to it nearly every week, either on the radio (WBUR, Sundays, 2-3pm), or the podcast. They did a piece about the wounded-Marine AP photo recently, which is worth reading or hearing:

It's an interview with a D-o-D spokesman and an AP photography editor, and explains both sides of the issue very succinctly. After hearing it, I still feel that it was appropriate and justified for the AP to publish the photo.

This story/situation makes me wonder whether this will affect the arrangement of journalists and photographers being embedded with troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Just a few weeks earlier, OTM also had a story about how the Pentagon apparently is evaluating each of the embedded journalists for the tone and content of their published stories:

The Pentagon claims that the reporter-assessments are done to help the journalists better cover the wars' developments and stories, but it appears to be more about keeping close tabs on the reporters and what they are writing about the conflict.
