Description
Summary:This article examines key global changes in military-media relations during the twentieth century, focusing on the inapplicability of known models to the realities of military-media relations and wars in the twenty-first century. It argues that these one-dimensional models, that were never entirely consistent or perfect, are incapable of theoretical or practical conceptualization of the reciprocal relations between the military and the media in this century. Consequently, a new Multidimensional Model is proposed. This includes several components of known one-dimensional ones yet maintains a dynamic pattern that adapts itself to structural and technological developments and changes on the media map, as well as to changing political and social realities.
