Journalists' Presence Sparks Debate on Military-Civilian Relations, National Defense Institute Experts Stress Safety Above All.

Professor Su Ziyun of the National Defense University has underscored the importance of "embedded journalists" during the Han Kuang 42 exercise, sparking controversy over the relationship between the media and the military. According to Professor Su, the core of embedded journalism is "action safety," where journalists can enjoy complete freedom of reporting outside of the exercise, but once embedded, they must abide by the collective command and control of the military unit to ensure battlefield protection and military safety.

Professor Su believes that the presence of embedded journalists serves to inform the public about military capabilities and combat capacity, while also allowing the military to promote its strength and image through the media. However, this means that journalists must accept the military's command and control, which is a crucial condition. If journalists discover any security or confidential issues during the exercise, they must immediately report to the military and refrain from reporting on these matters.

On the other hand, Professor Su emphasized that if the news content does not involve combat safety and confidentiality, the military must respect journalists' positions and freedom of reporting. Journalists have the right to track and report on military activities, and the military should allow journalists to report within a certain scope without interfering or controlling them.

Currently, embedded journalists play a crucial role in the Republic of China military's exercises. Journalists can accompany military units for interviews and reporting, allowing the public to understand military capabilities and combat capacity, while the military can promote its strength and image through the media. However, this has also sparked discussion over the relationship between the media and the military.

Professor Su also emphasized that journalists have the right to track and report on military activities, but the military should allow journalists to report within a certain scope without interfering or controlling them. Journalists can report without participating in the exercise, but if they embed, they must accept the military's command and control.

The existence of embedded journalists has also sparked discussion over the relationship between the media and the military. Professor Su believes that the media should maintain an independent and objective stance, free from the military's command and control. However, the military should also allow journalists to report within a certain scope without interfering or controlling them.
