On the limits of a free press: remote imaging and commercial news gathering

Article Abstract:

Remote imagery offers unlimited access to news and information transcending state and national boundaries. It enables news organizations to gather information even in remote areas utilizing satellites. The Spot Image Corp used space technology during the Gulf Crisis. However, western media's request for unlimited access through satellite technology has prompted governments to set limits to public disclosures of information gathered through remote imagery. The news media has sought to overcome these restrictive government policies by operating their own satellite systems.
