The past and present of embedded journalism

In this episode of Scoop we take a look at the origins of embedded journalism, when a reporter is attached to a military unit in a combat zone. Critics say the access comes at the cost of impartiality; proponents say that while it is not a comprehensive overview, it provides vital information from the battlefield. We also speak to FRANCE 24 senior reporter Catherine Norris-Trent. Russia has opened a criminal case against her after she was embedded with the Ukrainian military in Russia's Kursk region.
