Journalism-Mirror, Mirror on the World? is a fascinating documentary made in 1968 which analyzes news coverage of a demonstration organized by women to protest the government's policies in Vietnam. NBC's, The Washington Post's, The New York Times' and UPI's treatments of the event are contrasted with an "ideal" coverage. Through an examination of the amount of time and space devoted to the demonstration, the number of people assigned to research and cover the event, and the complexity of the issues raised in the reporting, a portrait of mainstream news practice emerges. While Mirror, Mirror on the World? differs from the media it criticizes more in content-providing more in-depth, thorough, balanced coverage-than in form, it nonetheless provides an illuminating and still relevant discussion of the technological and ideological determinants of mainstream news and the (im)possibility of objective (or mirror) reporting on the world. From a distance of twenty years, it is interesting to examine the structure of the documentary itself and its reliance on male experts to explain and elucidate images of an event organized by women. -Kathy Geritz Preceded by Assassination of King Alexander of Jugoslavia, which consists of the 1934 Fox Movietone newsreel, Assassination of Alexander and Barthou, and the original footage in the order it was shot: an example of an earlier construction of a news story.
