Media+Coverage

 There have been many sources of media before and during this conflict, and this page will explain the different types, how they've changed the public's perception, and examples of some blogs and some videos for you to check out. Media leading up to the conflict was found few and far between, ranging from news channels, but it was mainly kept out of focus; Iraq and finding Bin Laden was the number one priority. This narrowed down the public's perception and made them focus less on the Afghanistan conflict and more on Iraq.

Current types of media are nearly boundless, from internet articles, newspapers, radio stations, live televised coverage, to blogs, twitter, dedicated youtube channels and other such online resources.

Since the war in Afghanistan has finally been brought to the attention of the mainstream media, American citizens, as well as civilizations across the world that have access to these types of media have had their eyes opened to what has been going on in Afghanistan.

According to Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, in an article from May of 2009, "The U.S. is losing the media war in Afghanistan/Pakistan," and that "militants broadcasting from radio equipment on the backs of pickup trucks are threatening and intimidating people" within the boundaries of Afghanistan/Pakistan.
