This study examines transformations in contemporary military journalism, applying philosophical anthropology approach. Increasing contradictions between special status of journalist and generated by reporters contextual-true information clearly produce all sorts of anthropological problems in the mass media. The simple fact of journalist's presence at the location of military conflict creates the phenomenon of hunting on journalist, which highly increase the risk of injuries, kidnappings, and brutal deaths among military journalists. Conflicting sides are able to use death of journalist against each other. Philosophical anthropology as a school of thinking treats human life as a most valuable thing, considering all social and scientific facts from human point of view. The article proposes, on the basis of philosophical analysis, to start new way of development for military journalism in the beginning of the 21st century. This way bases mostly on the development of drone technology for the purposes of military journalism. The authors insist that future military journalist is to be consider as an operator of drones with all necessary for reporting audio- and video-equipment. DOI:10.5901/mjss.2015.v6n5s2p105

This qualitative study examines coverage by Zimbabwe's media of the events surrounding the military coup of November 2017. The study investigates 38 selected stories; 16 from the state controlled The Herald and 22 from the private owned Newsday newspapers. The sampled articles were considered relevant to the 'military assisted political transition' that took place in the period under study. Critically, the study is aimed to understand how events that transpired during the transitional period leading to President Robert Mugabe ouster, after three decades in power, have shaped journalism practice in Zimbabwe. Considering that the transitional period marked a major turning point in Zimbabwe's political life, this study seeks to understand the role played by the country's private and public media. In this paper, the authors try to find out who the two newspapers wrote about during the coup period, why the two normally opposite newspapers converged against Mugabe and how they framed his demise. Framing theory is used as an analytic lens of the study. The theory analyses meanings of statements, language and words used by the two newspapers. The study found out that, in an unusual situation, the newspapers reported a similar language and tone, demonstrating media convergence between a state-controlled newspaper and a private and oppositional publication that never existed since the country had gained independence in 1980. The study also observed that these media outlets violated journalistic ethics of fairness and right to reply as they saw the toppling of President Mugabe as crucial to the progress of the country.

Commentary: In the lead up to Fiji General Election in September 2014, there was an air of positivity among media workers that despite the difficulties since the military takeover in December 2006—including the imposition of the Media Industry Development Decree in 2010—their operating environment would possibly be easing. The Fiji Sun, which had chosen in 2009 after the abolition of the 1997 Constitution to change its stance, adopting an editorial policy unabashedly partisan towards the Voreqe Bainimarama-led government, opened up its pages to all political parties and candidates giving them relatively free rein to comment on the political landscape as they saw it. Media organisations ran reports that criticised the military-led regime's performance as campaigning began to pick up. However, not long after the much-hailed return-to-democracy election it became clear that the reappearance of media vibrancy and plurality would not happen overnight. The author critically examines the post-election climate and draws on his personal experience as a Fiji news media editor.

Officers generally had less favorable attitudes than civilians did concerning right to publish military news, but fewer officers saw harm in publication of Pen tagon Papers.

Forbes successfully defined and implemented ideas and ways of their representation which has been demanded by society.
