War_Coverage_In_The_Media

War Coverage In The Media In our nations history just about every generation has to face some type of war, whether it be fighting against terror, an evil dictator, or communism. Whatever ever the reason may be, it always seems to result in war. My thesis isn’t just based on the war themselves or the reason behind them, but what I want to find out is does the media have a positive or negative affect on war and society as well. Spanning from WWI – War on Terror you can see how much more the media gets involved, to the point where there are reporters on the frontlines. We go from just political cartoons during the World Wars, to making a nation hate our Vets during Vietnam, and now actually going over to the actual war, where reporters have no place to be. Now, it’s not just the soldiers risking their lives, but men and women who have no place on the battlefield. Risking their lives just for a story, that only ends up bending the real truth in the end anyways. Since America didn’t make their entrance into the First World War till the very end, the media never really got a chance war, media, vietnam, out, about, just, over, one, first, troops, every, country, america, soldiers, american, reason, public, peace, make, involvement, home, going, even, end, during, time, terror, story, seems, right, place, long, korean, korea, it’s, involved
