Overview: From the executive summary: ‘Every government’s primary need at the time of crisis is to re-establish order. The process calls for uniting the country and organizing a response that mobilizes specific groups and resources. Accomplishing the goals will require some degree of secrecy, lying or disinformation, face-saving or posturing, propaganda, restricting or limiting freedom of press, other civil liberties, and individual privacy. An open and democratic society always trades away some freedoms to provide order. A wartime situation or attack makes more demands than peacetime. Thus, in a democracy, citizens have some say in the decision-making processes that lead to compromises and trade offs with regard to their freedom.’ The paper examines the role of media in a democracy.
