THE PAST DECADE HAS SEEN A PLUNGING SPIRAL OF VIOLENCE IN THE BALKANS. THE MEDIA HAS TRAGICALLY BECOME ENTWINED IN THIS DEADLY CYCLE FLAMES OF HATRED HAVE BEEN FANNED BY BIASED JOURNALISTS AND THOSE REPORTING OBJECTIVELY HAVE OFTEN FACED APPALLING CONSEQUENCES.
NATO`S DECISION to bomb Serbia into respecting human rights and accepting a peace settlement in Kosovo attracted universal media attention. With the alliance`s colossal might towering over a war-torn and sanctioned Yugoslavia, the military outcome was clear from the onset.
BUT THE BATTLE could have been won and lost in the trenches of public opinion. Both parties buried inconvenient information and deployed deceit and implication to win the sympaties of a sceptical audience.
THE WAR WAS punctuated with accusations, both from the media and against the media. Claims of censorship,propaganda purveying, distorted and suppressed information were met by allegations of media treason, sensationalist reporting, cheerleading and appeasing.
THIS BOOK DETAILS the media aspects of the military conflict in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia from various perspectives. Several opinions have been collated from news professionals on the issues of the flow of information
and media coverage of the conflict - in FRY itself, in the bordering countries, in key Nato and in selected neutral countries.
