Considers the present development in which both the war and the image of war are
now controlled by the military and its killing machines. Looks at the future
high tech battlefield, which has no place for the war correspondent. There, the
image of war will be created and manipulated by the military for its own
purposes; and reported by the newly invented satellite-controlled war reporter.
The US. war correspondent feels threatened, and is concerned that with the
Pentagon in complete control, American television will never be able to raise
the moral and political questions which confront the people about wars. The
contributors, both practising and former journalists, discuss issues including
the influence of censorship and propaganda by the military and government; and
the visual imagery of war. Includes selected archival and newsreel footage of
the Vietnam War and Iraq wars to illustrate the various aspects discussed.
