John Simkin Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 I am afraid none of the panel members are from Australia (any volunteers?) I am sure several of us would be willing to contribute information on the impact of the mass media on the USA. One website that does include information on this is: http://abc.net.au/aroundtheworld/content/s1059129.htm A similar question was asked here: http://www.faqs.org/qa/qa-1220.html These articles are also worth reading: http://www.awm.gov.au/events/travelling/im...ust_vietnam.htm http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/11/...s&oneclick=true I would also suggest you take a good look around P.L.

Evan Burton Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I'm afraid I'm a little late in this topic, but if anyone else wishes some input I'm more than happy to oblige. My brother did three tours of Vietnam with the Australian Army, so I have him as one reference source. I was about 10 when Australia withdrew it's troops from Vietnam, so I can't really add much from a personal perspective. I can, however, give some details of the events that took place in Australia which were related to Vietnam. If the original question still stands, I'd like to clarify if you would like to know what effect the televising of the conflict had on culture, politics, etc, or simply the reactions and events that took place because of the conflict (with no specific reference to the television impact).
