Media War Coverage

Media fight coverage From the beginning of era when humans started chip warfares regardless of the reasoning leading discovered how important propaganda and the publics opinion of why they were armed combat the war. If the nations leaders believes in why they are fighting a war the Country willbe more likely to give their pay and motivated to stay in the fight for the long haul. Edward R. Murrow, former newsman for CBS once said, We must non confuse dissent with disloyalty.We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason if we consider that we are not descended from fearful men, not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate and to confine causes which were, for the moment unpopular. A delicate balance exists between the military and the media censoring and evolution of wartime media from WWII through modern twenty-four hours WAR in Iraq. origination state of war II coverage came mostly through newspapers and radio coverage.During this time journalist had a good relationship with the military, both were working toward a common goal that would bring an end to Adolf Hitlers war machine, which was inflexible to take over the world Without existence heavily censored by military leader reporters were sufficient to provide much more coverage of the war. Reporters during this time were at a much larger disadvantage compared to reporters of like a shot because of their technological disadvantage.What would take journalist during World War II hours if not days to report meshs or events through radio, print, or even cable was plenty of time for the military to concealing the fiction. But it also provided a buffer of time to prevent any issues of violation what is known as operational security. In other words by the time the story reached its loters in the fall in States a potential battle chat had already been executed. The soldiers involved wouldnt be in any risk of exposure of valuable information reaching the enemy.Not to m ention if a battle went particularly wrong in that location was time to adjust or screen a story in order to portray it in a different light that may be more favorable. Vietnam armed with newer engineering allowing the average American family to have a television in either living room created a way to usher in written images of the war. No longer could we use the view the war over at that place as a separate entity being left over there and nor were reporters on the battle field as highly censored they were able to relay events on the battlefield and the reality in pictures of what combat was genuinely like.Because we now possessed the technology so Americans at home could see war first hand. Young Americans formed their own opinions of the war causing protest swaying public opinion and subsequently offer for the war causing a large Anti-war feeling. Ho Chi Minh and the Communist north believed that with the American public losing confidence in the Unites States government. Si nce the mainstream media were not in support of the war, media limning the violence and how the US jump on in Vietnam in a electrvirtuosogative light that eventually was said to be the motivation leading to the whiff out of Vietnam.The concept of winning by proxy meaning to obviously wait out the enemy until they lose the will of the people to endure to fight. The theory held by the enemy proved to be correct cod to the lack of media support helping to drive the motivation of the people and the aloofness of the war dragging on over several years the United States did eventually pull out of Vietnam. During the gulf War the media had progressed and had grown leaps and edge since Vietnam. The technology currently available allowed reporters to report from hotel rooms within capital of Kuwait during the air campaign in the early hours of Desert Storm.New companies such as CNN had correspondents bringing up to date information and developments from the beginning of physical pr ocess Desert shield to the building up of forces. The destruction of SADAAM Husseins Army as it moved waged its campaign against Kuwait through the acquittance of Kuwait. The images we saw of Scud attacks and Victory parades were brought to us twenty-four hours a day seven days a week. The positive view portrayed by the media had a direct affect on the publics view on the war. From the beginning of the War on Terror associate reporters who were masking stories for both Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom.Allied reporters were imbedded with American troops fighting on the battlefield, these reporters were able to use air cards for access to the Internet and laptops were able to report from anywhere on the battle field up to date information on the progress of operations and how the war was going with virtually little to no guess of the military censorship. Reporters ability to use technology to revoke censorship was evident with the opening of the ground war i n Iraq a reporter named Jeraldo Rivera announced planned movements of American troops on television. Mr.Rivera was being broadcasted internationally creating the potential for the enemy to be better prepared for the moving attacks by the American Forces. Powerful Photo essays and Internet blogs often take the harsh side of war, unlike the harsh side of WWII where media images were more benign. The one constant through history has always been evident and media wither or not being censored is powerful in determining the support in a nation and in many cases the outcome of advantage or failure in a conflict.
