Abstract

Until the Crimean War all the elements involved in the wars were under military supervision, including the story of them. The burst on the scene of the first civil war correspondent and linked to a medium resulted in the creation of a new front in operations: the management of the relationship between journalists and the military. This research examines this interaction from Crimea until Iraq, it stresses the importance of two factors like technology and the military balance of the previous conflict and it proposes a reflection on their relationship from now on.
