Media coverage of the Gulf crisis: a survey of correspondance

Article Abstract:

The professional, political and organizational factors which influenced the Gulf crisis press coverage were analyzed. Data was obtained from foreign correspondents reporting the Gulf crisis from Aug 2, 1990 to Jan 16, 1991. Findings show that majority of the correspondents were relatively young, did not speak the Arabic language and of American-European nationalities. These findings indicate that the correspondents who were unfamiliar with the region's issues and problems tend to be less than balanced and enlightened.
