Preface
While the history of relations between the press and the military pre-
dates modern journalism, much of what had gone before was neu-
tralized by the horrible press-military breakdown that occurred dur-
ing U.S. involvement in Vietnam. By the end of the Vietnam War,
press-military trust was at an all time low, and antagonism on both
sides at an all time high. Many in the press, feeling repeatedly misled,
reported ongoing events in an unfavorable light; many in the military
felt betrayed by this “inappropriate” and negative press coverage and
wanted to have nothing further to do with the press. Following Viet-
nam, the tension between First Amendment protections, generally
accepted citizen “right to know,” and military resistance and desire
for operational secrecy has led press-military relations through several
different institutional forms. First, the complete exclusion of the press
from the intervention in Grenada, followed by the better but less-
than-satisfactory “press pool” systems used in Panama and during the
first Gulf War, and the “turning of the tables” in Haiti and Somalia,
where the press was in country before the troops, concluding (for the
present) with the “embedded press” system, in which journalists are
attached to, and travel with specific military units. The embedded
press system appears to be the best solution to date at balancing the
needs of the three core constituencies (the press, the military, and the
public); the questions remain whether that appearance is correct,
what improvements remain to be made, and what, if any, vulnerabili-
ties (for any of the constituents) the embedded press system creates.
