America's team, the odd couple: A report on the relationship between the media and the military

Frank Aukofer

4.9/5 (16065 ratings)

Description:This study starts with two fundamental premises: One is that the First Amendment guarantee of a free and unfettered press is absolutely essential to American democracy, and applies to the nation's military operations as it does to the actions of every other government institution. The other is that America's military, with its unparalleled dedication to civilian authority, is absolutely essential to the preservation of freedom, security and the Constitution, including the First Amendment. Throughout history, the two institutions often have been at odds, but the tension escalated markedly in a brief eight-year period- from the invasions of Grenada in 1983 and Panama in 1989 to the Desert Storm victory in 1991. Each of those led to bitter complaints by the news media that the military had completely shut out news coverage (Grenada), needlessly delayed a press pool it had helped set up (Panama), or stifled journalists through censorship, delays and denial of access (Desert Storm). Leaders of both institutions recognized that the relationship was broken and needed to be fixed. Military and news representatives, as well as independent individuals and organizations, convened panels and round-table discussions, organized meetings and study groups, produced reports and books, and developed the Pentagon pool system-all with an eye toward bringing the relationship to an even keel. All those efforts have made substantial contributions, and should be recognized and applauded. Progress continues. But much remains to be done.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
