MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2001 As the United States prepares to enter some sort of war against terrorism not seen before, journalists worry about the kinds of information and access to government sources they will have. During times of war or conflict, press is often limited. Given the sensitive nature of the information required to fight terrorist networks like Osama bin Laden's the information may be more limited now. One way of giving access was to allow journalists onto military bases during previous conflicts. But since there may no "battlefield" fighting terrorists, that may no longer be possible. The Bush administration is working with some publications on press issues. Some major papers have been urged not to report on President Bush's or Vice President Dick Cheney's schedule in advance. U.S. concerns about press have already been felt. The Voice of America, an international broadcasting organization that receives federal funds, pulled an interview with Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar due to U.S. objections. Get the Story:
