I agree with your overall point but you ' re a little off on some of the details . Images being broadcast from Vietnam to households on the home front particularly the aftermath of the Tet Offensive are regarded as affecting support for and attitudes toward the war in a new way . This didn ' t cause the military to stop news organizations from broadcasting images from wars , it convinced them of the need to control and ' shape ' the coverage as much as they could . The most obvious and fairly recent example would be the practice of ' embedding ' reporters with frontline units during the invasion of Iraq . <| sep |> Link To Original Submission I Am A Bot .
