While war unleashes devastation and death on people, it delivers ratings and brings life to television. War is often the "big story" a defining moment for many journalists. Many top reporters rose through ranks because of war reporting. Less obvious is the relationship between bloated military budgets and war coverage. Journalism does not only legitimize violence but is violent in and of itself by its continuing failure to pay attention to people's grievances or strategies for peaceful outcomes. Bombings are reported vividly, peace processes, particularly among nonstate players, are ignored.
