News Media

Abstract

The news media provides a public forum that educates and informs the government and the governed. The tension between news as a business commodity and public good affects newsgathering and dissemination--what the public wants to know and what they need to know. Addressing this dilemma raises several challenges for the industry: maintaining credibility, managing consolidation, leveraging internet technology and fostering effective relationships. We recommend the federal government incorporate news media education and training for government leaders to better appreciate the industry and its impact on national security.
