  • The Conflict in Iraq 23 MAY 2003
    RESEARCH PAPER 03/50 The Conflict in Iraq 23 MAY 2003 Military operations to remove the Iraqi regime from power (Operation Iraqi Freedom) began officially at 0234 GMT on 20 March 2003. Coalition forces advanced rapidly into Iraq, encountering sporadic resistance from Iraqi military and paramilitary forces. By mid-April major combat operations had come to an end, with coalition forces in effective control of the whole country, including the capital Baghdad. This paper provides a summary of events in the build- up to the conflict, a general outline of the main developments during the military campaign between 20 March and mid April 2003 and an initial post-conflict assessment of the conduct of operations.

  • Media Coverage of the 2003 Iraq War
    Lewis, J., Brookes, R., Mosdell, N. and Threadgold, T. (2006) Shoot First and Ask Questions Later: Media Coverage of the 2003 Iraq War. Peter Lang, New York (p.94–100) Many of our open‐ended questions directed at editors and journalists were intended to elicit their views about the policy of embedded reporting as a central component of U.S./UK military news management strategy. Much of the criticism levelled at embedding has been aimed at the dependence of correspondents‐on their units for food and water, transport and safety, suggesting that this close and dependent relationship compromises the ability of correspondents to be critical of military personnel. All of our respondents expressed an awareness of this issue. Many of the correspondents said that they could not help developing friendships with military personnel as a result of their common situation. Indeed, developing friendly relations with the troops was important for correspondents in helping them to do their job. Phil Wardman recalled how Jeremy Thompson made himself popular with the troops by down‐linking Sky Sports for them. According to Wardman, Sky deliberately assigned reporters to units who would be likely to get along with the troops. At the same time, correspondents who discussed the issue denied ythat an friendships formed with the soldiers influenced how they reported the war. A number of examples illustrate the potential for the position of the embedded journalist to be compromised. A number of journalists reported occasions where they were uncomfortably close to the soldiers they accompanied. Ben Brown recalled how a soldier had saved his life by shooting an Iraqi sniper: There was an Iraqi who had been playing dead the other side of a wall very close to us, and he had been pretending to be dead.

  • Slaughter in Iraq
    Slaughter in Iraq 20 March 2003 – 20 March 2006 A total of 86 journalists and media assistants have been killed and 38 have been kidnapped during three years of war - Who were they? - Which media did they work for? - In what circumstances were they killed or kidnapped? - By whom? March 2006 Reporters Without Borders 5, rue Geoffroy-Marie – 75009 Paris (France) Tel: (33) 1 4483-8484 Fax: (33) 1 4523-1151 [email protected] www.rsf.org The war in Iraq has proved to be the deadliest for journalists since World War II. A total of 86 journalists and media assistants1 have been killed in Iraq since the war began on 20 March 2003. This is more than the number killed during 20 years of war in Vietnam or the civil war in Algeria. Iraq is also one of the world’s biggest marketplaces for hostages, with 38 journalists kidnapped in three years. Five of them were executed. Three - Jill Carroll, Reem Zeid and Marwan Khazaal – are still being held by their abductors. Around 63 journalists were killed in Vietnam during the 20 years from 1955 to 19752. A total of 49 media professionals were killed in the course of their work during the war in ex- Yugoslavia, from 1991 to1995. During the civil war in Algeria from 1993 to 1996, 77 journalists and media assistants were killed. Paul Moran, an Australian cameraman working for ABC television, was the first of the long series of journalists to die in Iraq. He was killed by a car bomb right at the start of the war, on 22 March 2003.

  • Lettre Famille Congrès.Indd
    Dear Congressional Members, We are the families of journalists killed or missing in Iraq during the year 2003. We are writing to you jointly from Amman, Ramallah, London, Brussels, Warsaw and the Bekaa Valley (Lebanon), backed by Reporters Without Borders, to express our deep dismay and grief at the silence, lack of information and the untruth emanating from your government about the fate of our loved ones. Tarek, Mazen, Terry, Fred, Hussein and Taras were journalists. They acquired the experience and wisdom of war reporters by covering the Balkans, Afghanistan, Chechnya and the Israeli-Palestinian confl ict. Just a year ago, they were sent to Iraq to report on the confl ict and upheaval in the region. As seasoned war correspon- April 8 2004 dents, they were well prepared in advance of what they were to expect when they arrived in Iraq. This war was to be their last. On 22 March 2003, a team from the British TV network ITN led by star reporter Terry Lloyd came under US and Iraqi gunfi re near Basra, in southern Iraq. Terry was most probably killed by US Marines. French came- raman Fred Nérac and Lebanese interpreter Hussein Osman mysteriously vanished. The British military police started an investigation in June but was never allowed to question the Marines involved. Despite the promises of Secretary of State Colin Powell, the US Army has not cooperated suffi ciently with British investigators and so reduced the chances of fi nding out what really happened including recove- ring the bodies of Fred and Hussein. April 8 was a terrible day for the media in Baghdad.

  • The Hollywoodization Of
    1 The Hollywoodisation of war: The media handling of the Iraq war Alan Knight Is this war going to make history by being the first to end before its cause is found? Geoff Meade, SKY TV (Meade 2003) The media war over Iraq began with an ominous warning. US President, George W. Bush told journalists to leave Baghdad, because he could not guarantee their safety. 1 Events in Iraq had reached the “final days of decision”, he said. Saddam Hussein and his sons, like a gang of Hollywood rustlers, were given forty eight hours to get out of town. Three days later the invasion of Iraq began. This article considers the propaganda techniques deployed by both sides in the 2003 Iraq war as they sought to manipulate global coverage of events. It draws extensively on internet sources, in part because the fragmented reports from the field became in the end less important than the globalised whole which consisted of text, audio and television converging on the world wide web. 2 Truth? The first point of the code of conduct for International Federation of Journalists states “Respect for truth and for the right of the public to truth is the first duty of the journalist.” (IFJ Conduct of Journalists) Yet truth does not always have quick victories in modern warfare where the battle for global opinion may be as intense as the contest of military technology. Free speech comes at a cost. The Committee to Protect Journalists reported as Baghdad fell, that nine journalists had been killed during the Iraq invasion.
