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.
