Abstract
Having trained journalists who are knowledgeable about military operations is a crucial first step to obtaining the trust of military leaders and improving military/media relations (Offley, 1994). The purpose of this study is to assess the progress, if any, that has been made since the Gulf War in better educating and training journalists to cover the military. It will also attempt to identify the obstacles, if any, that are preventing this education from taking place and recommend ways to overcome those obstacles.
