What is the context of embedded journalist when was it first used who created the term?
First, the word "embed" is a word that goes back to the late 1700s, referring to inserting or incorporating something within a larger item. The term did not refer to a journalism practice until fairly recently. An embedded journalist travels with a military unit, which offers him or her protection while allowing direct-from-the-scene reporting that might not be possible otherwise. There have been reporters in nearly ever war who covered the military, but usually, these reporters were not traveling with a group of soldiers-- staying with them, watching them do their work. (Part of the agreement for being an "embed" was that confidential information, or information that would compromise where the troops were, was not to be reported. But otherwise, there was considerable access to the troops, and even to their leaders.)
This type of reporting became popular during the Iraq War, after the media complained that in the Gulf War of 1991, their access was severely limited, making it difficult for them to do their jobs. But the practice of embedding, while in some ways interesting and exciting, was also controversial. Censorship was common, and not just about where the troops were-- sometimes, military censors believed a story would cast the war effort in a bad light. Critics soon accused the embeds of being unwitting propagandists, only allowed to report the good and the positive, part of the Bush Administration's strategy of managing the press.
It should also be noted that even with protection of the military, being an embed had its dangers and some journalists were wounded or even killed. I enclose a link to an article about the process of embedding, including some of the history, as well as the good and bad points of doing it.

Journals are regular periodic publications, usually dedicated to a specific profession or discipline. They usually are published monthly or quarterly, and they are usually in the form of a magazine, although the obvious exception is the Wall Street Journal, which is in the form of a newspaper. Some journals are "peer review" kinds of journals, which means that when articles are submitted for publication, groups of professionals in the field will do their best to make sure that the articles are legitimate, and if ithey involve research, that appropriate methods and controls have been used. Journals are very useful in academic and academic research circles, and they are also important to professionals (physicians and scientists) who need to keep up on the latest developments in their fields.

What are the functions of the press?
1 To Serve the Economic System
The United States economy is fueled by advertising, which brings buyer and seller together. Both the media and advertisers earn profits, and both are highly criticized, yet they help keep the economy moving. The media in some countries are financed or partially financed by the government, such as the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC); some are totally owned by governments as a way to influence what is published, as the newspaper Pravada was in Russia.
2 To Entertain
This is the biggest function of American mass media. Television is the nation's No. 1 entertainment medium, and film and radio are not far behind. Blockbuster movies such as Lord of the Rings , Star Wars, and Spiderman, remind us of the entertainment power of the media.
Interestingly enough, the print media also succeeds or fails in terms of its entertainment value. What kind of entertainment do you see in the print media? Comics, humor columns, feature stories, crossword puzzles and other word games, and, one of the biggest, sports coverage, draw millions of readers every day. The Internet also provides countless hours of entertainment for today's society.
3 To Inform
The most important function of a free press is to inform. Without current information about government, there can be no representative democracy; therefore, this is the most important information available. The power to inform is incredible, particularly today, with television, radio, newsmagazines, newspapers, and now the Internet.
This isn't a new phenomenon, however. On Nov. 22, 1963, at 12:30 p.m. U.S. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Within one-half hour two-thirds of all Americans knew, within one hour 90 percent knew, and by early evening 99.8 percent knew. By the next day, the average TV set was on about eight hours a day.
Some hear news directly from the media; others hear through what is called the 2-step flow. What this means is that those who hear important, often earth-shattering news from the media immediately inform others. This happened, for example, when Kennedy was assassinated, when the Challenger, which carried the first civilian into space, blew up shortly after takeoff in 1986, when former football player O.J. Simpson took his famous freeway ride in his white Bronco after his ex-wife was found murdered.
The power to inform has changed countries and their cultures. Italy, for example, was a country with two different populations, a wealthy, metropolitan north and a poor, rural South. They even spoke different dialects. Within a few years of the advent of TV in 1954 Italy became a more homogeneous nation. They saw the same things, heard the same things, learned from the same sources.
4 To Influence
Although the power to change people's minds directly is limited, the media does influence our lives and our thinking, usually in more subtle ways rather than what we could call a "hypodermic effect," which, like a shot, would bring about immediate change, in this case a change of opinion or call to action. For example, the likelihood that an editorial that advocates a three-day work week would sway people to that point of view is slim. In addition, the media is more likely to influence those who are on the fence, those without strong opinions. Even less effect occurs with controversial topics, such as abortion, where the audience is likely to have strong views already.
One example of more subtle influence in American history is the climate of war fever created by William Randolf Hearst in the New York Journal in 1898. Slanted news coverage and sensational writing, particularly when the battleship Maine blew up in Havana harbor, helped bring about the Spanish-American War.
Another is the 1968 presidential campaign of Richard Nixon, who engineered a series of TV ads that crystalized American frustration into a Republican vote.
The most obvious example of mass media influence, however, is advertising, with its colors, graphics and slogans to help make you remember. Advertising appeals to our needs and wants, such as wanting to be accepted (better use the right toothpaste), to be more attractive and sexy (better buy the right kind of jeans), to be successful (better buy a prestigious car), and to our thirst and hunger (better get that sparkling, sizzling soft drink trickling over shimmering ice cubes). Ads are persuasive; if they didn't work, there wouldn't be any. Advertising is one of the most criticized aspects of mass media, whether it is the tobacco industry targeting young people through cartoon ads such as Joe Camel, shown here in a spoof Joe Chemo ad, or a Calvin Klein ad (one of the first being Brooke Shields in 1980) using teens and sexuality to sell everything from jeans to fragrances.
The acronym RBI stands for 'runs batted in'. This means that there is one or more baserunners when a batter hits the ball causing one of more of them to score. Any run that was a result of that at-bat counts as an RBI for the batter, whether or not the batter actually made it to first base safely.
John Peter Zenger is the name of the man who scored one of the first victories for freedom of the press when he opposed the governor of New York. Zenger was a journalist, editor, printer and publisher in New York City.
