A Survey of 10th Mountain Division (Light) Soldiers Who Deployed to Operation Uphold Democracy to Determine the Importance, Availability and Use of News and Media Resources.

Abstract

The majority of research in the area of mass communication regarding the military falls into the area of public information. Public information deals with information passed to external audiences via the civilian news media. The purpose of this research is to survey the soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division (Light) who deployed in Operation Uphold Democracy to determine the value of news to them and how much, how often, what kind and by what avenue they received news. News for the purposes of this study is defined as a report of a current event or events. Also, the study will analyze why soldiers use mass media resources. A comparison to earlier studies will indicate if these factors differ significantly in combat versus non-combat environments.
