Abstract

The 3rd of May is the day for the freedom of the press. It had been created by the UNESCO to defend the freedom of expression of journalists, but this fundamental right is being flouted everywhere. The freedom of the press is mentioned in every constitution of the western countries, with respect to the Human Rights, and is linked to the emergence of democratic regimes. Like this, journalists, in the western countries are supposed to be totally free, anywhere, anytime. Even during war, journalists are supposed to be able to do their job freely. History shows us that the Vietnam War is known for this freedom allowed by the American government to the journalists in reporting conflict. But according to a lot of authors, this freedom has been one of the biggest reasons for the loss of the war. Thus, after this conflict, western governments have been led to think that during war they should control the media, to avoid this happening again. what kind of control on media is necessary and acceptable in a democratic country during war?
