 Response to Iraqi invasion of Kuwait (long-standing border dispute)  U.S. Ambassador told Saddam, July 1991: “We don’t have a position...”

JAMM 100  Hill & Knowlton ◦ Washington, D.C.  1991: Citizens for a Free Kuwait ◦ Front for Kuwaiti royal family  Goal: build support for U.S. military action against Iraq

JAMM 100  Hill & Knowlton’s tactics: ◦ Testimony to Congress ◦ ‘Incubator babies’ scam to show Iraq’s brutality ◦ Witness was actually daughter of Kuwait’s ambassador to U.S.

 U.S., allied forces expelled Iraqi forces from Kuwait, but left Saddam in power  Pool coverage by media ◦ Relied on Central Command HQ ◦ Independent journalists discouraged

“The build-up to war had taken so long that the media was determined that this would be the most thoroughly reported war of modern times. It would be the biggest news-gathering operation in the history of television.” --Philip Knightley

 Pentagon’s media policy changed  Embedded journalists (“embeds”), assigned to units  PRO: Access to combat, less risk  CON: Subject to censorship

“When you depend on a unit, your natural tendency is to protect them… and it affected coverage.” --Chris Hedges, NY Times

 Donald Rumsfeld ◦ Secretary of Defense  Behind-the-scenes PR campaign  “Rumsfeld has turned the press conference into an art form….”
