War, Terrorism and Ourselves

Alastair Hetherington

Chapter 11 in News, Newspapers and Television, 1985, pp 282-291 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract War, civil war, espionage and kidnapping bring exceptional problems for journalists. Should they suspend normal practice, in the interests of saving life or national security, or should they ‘publish and be damned’? The Falklands War of 1982, the long conflict in Northern Ireland, the sieges of the Iranian Embassy in 1980 and the Libyan Embassy in 1983: these and other episodes posed problems for editors and their staffs.
