“…Through the policy definitions it frames and the information it brings to light, the media can compromise certain policy approaches promoted by governments (Gilboa, 2005), limit the range of issues that can be successfully defined as problems (Strobel, 1997), undermine the effectiveness of policy solutions (Iyengar and Kinder, 2010), create powerful images of how a government should behave in foreign policy (Wood and Peake, 1998), or more broadly damage the reputation of foreign policy actors, states, or international organizations both domestically and internationally (Mercer, 2008). For example, Kent found that in the case of the war in Bosnia the activity of the British media had an incremental effect on policymaking by creating coverage and forcing minimal intervention from the state, even though British policymakers were largely unwilling to respond directly to the media's discourse (Kent, 2005, p. 222).…”

“…Dabei wenden NGOs sich einerseits an die betroffene Regierung selbst, die sich rechtfertigen soll, andererseits an die nationale und transnationale Öffentlichkeit, um weiteren Druck zu mobilisieren. Hier spielen auch die Medien eine wichtige Rolle, die zunehmend selbst in dieser Phase als NSA in der internationalen Menschenrechtspolitik in den Blick geraten (Gilboa 2005). Vor allem der Druck durch die nationale und transnationale Ebene (sozusagen von innen und außen, vgl.…”

“…Las acciones de las instituciones del orden hoy se encuentran bajo el escrutinio cons tante de la prensa, quien no siempre tiene elemen tos suficientes para opinar de forma informada ni el criterio suficiente para discernir el daño que la revelación de cierta información puede ocasionar en una operación o política de seguridad. La tec nología satelital -que permite la transmisión de he chos en tiempo real y 24 horas al día, 365 días al año-ha creado e incrementado el llamado "efecto CNN" 5, que orienta la toma de decisiones a nivel estratégico y la forma en que los mandos dirigen sus unidades (Gilboa, 2005) Los productos mediáticos tienen la capacidad de influir en quienes interpretan hechos y llevan a cabo la acción de gobierno (toman decisiones). No en vano Colin Powell, ex Secretario de Estado de Estados Unidos y ex Jefe del Estado Mayor Conjunto del Departamento de Defensa de Estados Unidos durante la Guerra del Golfo, dijo que una vez en marcha las operaciones militares, cuando los comandantes tienen claro lo que se hará, deben poner atención a la televisión, porque se puede ga nar la batalla o perder la guerra si no se maneja la historia de manera correcta (Belknap, 2001).…”
