This article focuses on the changing role of media in the coverage and presentation of the ongoing war in the Persian Gulf. Television demonstrates what a relief this war has offered to many public figures. Life has been a lot easier for the anchors, who no longer have to pretend attentiveness to the fine points of third world culture. Untold amounts of network energy have gone into making this one a breathtakingly telegenic war, from the snappy America-at-War graphics to the strict policing of the East-West sartorial frontier.
