Samenvatting
How were photographic perspectives on the Gulf War processed in
editorial offices? Like weapons, pictures were to serve as a
deterrent. Like arms, photographs of the Gulf War were either
kept out of the sight of the public, or else there was a strict
prohibition against taking photographs. A war without pictures?
The role of the US Dept. of Defense Pools (DOD) consisted in
total observation of accredited journalists and photo-reporters,
and the exercise of continual censorship of undesireable photos.
Thus photographic material arrived at the editorial offices of
"Der Spiegel" which was either of uncertain but expensive
origins, or else in the form of masses of cynical propaganda
photos, censored by the Pentagon. The cover photos after the
declaration of war by America on 17 Jan. 1991 were made out of a
10-second long video sequence showing the first missile attack
on Baghdad. Only after great protest did photographs by the
American press photographer David Turnley reach the agencies. He
is now calling on the media to lodge a protest against these
Pools. (Published Summary)
