Delays and confusion over information on the major battle between United Nations forces and Somali militiamen over the weekend has underscored the difficulties for journalists operating in Mogadishu.

United States news organizations, including The New York Times, have withdrawn American citizens from the city. In recent weeks there have been increasing threats by supporters of Gen.

Review/Television; The Effect of Images on Governmental Policy
Date: 07 October 1993

So now we must add to the nightmarish images of our century the corpse of an American soldier being dragged through dusty streets by an exulting band. The picture would be painful under any circumstances, but there is a twist of the knife: the young man was in Somalia as part of an effort to feed people. In reflections written after the Marine landing in December and published on the Op-Ed page of The New York Times last Thursday, George F. Kennan blamed television for the surge of support for what was insistently described at the time as a humanitarian mission. "The reaction was an emotional one," he wrote, "occasioned by the sight of the suffering of the starving people in question."

Abroad at Home; Liberty or Autocracy?

There is an instinctive autocrat in Boris Yeltsin. When the bloody showdown with his parliamentary opponents came, one of his first moves was to close down Pravda and other opposition papers and impose censorship on the rest of the press. The old Soviet system of silence was recreated with worrying ease. Bureaucrats appeared at each newspaper, announced that they were censors and demanded office space. Vladimir Solodin, who had had the job of defending freedom of the press in the Yeltsin Government, switched to be chief of censorship without a visible qualm.
