Prof. Kitrosser Quoted on Pentagon War Reporting Guidelines

Professor Heidi Kitrosser was quoted in a story by the global news network Agence France Presse. The story, entitled "New Pentagon Rules May Change War Reporting," concerned statements in a Defense Department manual on the status and rights of war reporters. The story quoted Kitrosser as saying: "The breadth of the manual's language and its potential applications is alarming." Kitrosser also is quoted as deeming the manual's language "troubling for its conflict with U.S. constitutional principles and also for its potential invoking by authoritarian regimes to support their own suppression of journalists."
