How wars change Journalism

Journalism has changed the war and the war has changed Journalism. At the NewsMuseum, we look at the history of the evolution of the relationship, not always healthy, between war and Journalism. Pay special attention of the segments about Spanish Civil War and the Press, Second World War and the Radio, Vietnam War and the TV and Image, and Iraqi War and the Live Reports. All of these, seen in an atmosphere that recreates a Baghdad balcony under fire, in front of the eyes of half of the humanity. Curator: José Rodrigues dos Santos
