UQx MEDI028 Warning about the Military-Industrial-Complex
Channel: UQ MEDIAWARx Global Media, War, and Technology
Date: 07/08/2017

The experience of war has changed fundamentally – not only for those fighting and reporting, but also for those on the home front. High-tech nations wage wars from a distance using satellite-guided weaponry while non-state military actors, terrorist organisations and citizen journalists have increasingly added new voices and visual perspectives to the conversation about conflict.

In this MEDIAWARx, we map this emerging new terrain where violent conflict, information technology and global media intersect and where the old distinctions between battlefront and home front, between soldier and civilian, between war and entertainment and between public and private are being redrawn.
