About This Book
"This book traces the evolution and implementation of government press strategy from Vietnam through the Gulf War and its consequences by illustrating how the rising importance of the press in everyday political life has compelled presidents to change their strategies for dealing with the media during war and also encouraged them to alter their approach to waging war more generally.".
"It challenges the popular existing explanation for the rise of modern press restrictions and amends the history of recent wartime government/press relations which the conventional wisdom has skewed, relocating the subject of wartime press policy and public relations within the broader arena of government/press relations where it belongs.
War in the Media Age also aims to provide a thorough grounding in the history of recent government/press relations during conflict, and in the mechanics of how presidents, the military, and the press do their jobs during war."--BOOK JACKET.
