From Saigon to Sarajevo

From Saigon to Sarajevo

The whole story of news management in wartime is about the efforts the military makes to get the media on side. And how easy, except for a few honourable cases, it turns out to be.

From Saigon to Sarajevo, what lessons have been learned ? And what can we learn about the mass media in times of war, conflicts, and political crises ? This book brings you to the war in Afghanistan - what were the conditions for Russian journalists there ? And what were the conditions for journalism during the political crises in the Philippines ? The Gulf War, and the war in the Falklands/Malvines created special tensions in the media at home, far away from the battlefields. From the streets of Saigon to the streets of Sarajevo - the role of the mass media in times of war needs to be debated again and again : by journalists, peace workers, researchers and the general public.
