Here is an article about the media focus in Iraq: "On the reconstruction side, the Bush administration's press officers here urge reporters to write about all the schools built, bridges repaired and so on. Those numbers and details are made available. But reporters find that no one will answer questions about how much these projects cost and how the money is spent. ...The Iraqis, typically, are glad Saddam is gone. Now they want security. They expect Americans to provide it. So far, Americans haven't been doing that to the Iraqis' satisfaction. And the Iraqis complain that reporters are not telling that part of the story strongly enough. "
