Panelists talked about how war reporting and press relations with the military have changed since the Vietnam War, reporting rules, information gathering and relations with the military. Thoughts about the impact of the removal of the draft, more coverage of the military during peacetime, some aggressiveness in reporting and how new reporters & military have more college education including masters degrees were expressed. Other issues discussed were the differences of the wire services and TV with coverage, the public reaction to the images of war and how it effected support for military operations and the immediacy of satellite TV versus print coverage. They also took questions from the audience. close
