NPR : Rules Change for Photos of War Casualties: "Rules Change for Photos of War Casualties
All Things Considered, June 19, 2007: The U.S. military recently has established new rules for embedded journalists in Iraq that require the signatures of injured soldiers before their images or voices can be used by the media.
This is a shift from the previous policy, which required that media outlets wait for next-of-kin notification before broadcast.
In January, The New York Times published 'Man Down: When One Bullet Alters Everything,' an article by correspondent Damien Cave that told the story of several soldiers and what happens when one is shot in the head by a sniper during an operation. Staff Sgt. Hector Leija, the man who was shot, died."
