Military and News Media Have an Uneasy Relationship:
Governments and the military traditional have imposed varying levels of censorship on the press in wartime. Censored or not, the work of reporters is subject to intense scrutiny. At one extreme, reporters have been called propagandists, while at the other they've been labeled unpatriotic, even treasonous. Modern technology -- cell phones and computers -- further complicates this issue of security vs. the public's need to know. |
