HOMELAND SECURITY WILL EMBED REPORTERS
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
Reporters will be embedded with the government during natural disasters, according to a plan outlined by Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff at the Radio-Television News Directors Association convention in Las Vegas. Chertoff said that it is not a battleground so "we're not going to be censoring information." But he also said that he doesn't want "interference with our physical operations," according to RTNDA.
