Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Journalism in the space of war presents a number of challenges for reporters as professional journalistic norms and standards of detached observation come face to face with the exigencies of the battlefield, not least among them the threat of death. In order to understand how journalists negotiate the perils of war journalism, this paper takes as its site of inquiry the discourse connected to the deaths of two prominent journalists killed in the early stages of the Iraq war in 2003: NBC reporter David Bloom and Washington Post columnist Michael Kelly. The discourse arising from their deaths is traced across television, print, and radio outlets as journalists attempt to make sense of the death of the two journalists by connecting their loss to interconnected narratives related to bravery, volunteerism, sacrifice, and witnessing. Although the coverage is not monolithic, a discursive construct of the �KIA journalist� develops that situates the death of the journalist in the space of combat within broader tropes connected to the normative role of journalism in a democracy. In this way, Kelly and Bloom become interpreted in a framework that strives to increase the cultural authority of journalism by positioning journalists as representations of the collective good.
