The Impact Of The American Press On Domestic Support For Low-Intensity Conflict Operations: Angola And Nicaragua., Dan. Dragovich
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This paper argues that, notwithstanding the necessity of certain restrictions on the press in combat zones for security reasons, government agenda-setting and control of the press are violations of democratic values which are doomed to failure in a free society.
