Hosted by Howard Kurtz, the program reviews the coverage of the news stories of the past week by the media, in addition to news about the news media behind the scenes, all with a constantly changing group of online, print, and broadcastjournalists. The show also features some one-on-one interviews with journalists taking part in a news event or covering a story, such as interviewing Bob Woodruff after his return to ABC News in February 2007 after his severe injuries in Iraq on January 29, 2006.
Broadcasting since 1992, the program was initially formed to cover the media's coverage of the Persian Gulf War, but has since also covered the media's coverage of the Valerie Plame affair, the War in Iraq, the outing of W. Mark Felt as Deep Throat, and many other events and internal media stories.
