Why is the role of journalists and photographers so important during wartime?
During wartime civilians have no way of knowing what is going on without someone telling them. We aren't actually there seeing the war, which is why journalists and photographers go overseas. Journalists do this to inform and keep us updated with what is going on, photographers go to offer proof to what the journalists write, because without pictures all we have is the journalist's account. Also some free lance photographers do it to simply make money and to have an account of the war as it progresses.

What are the disadvantages of conscription?
The modern use of the term "conscription" usually refers to mandatory military service. Beyond the discipline and commitment that is taught in the military, it also provides a method to guarantee adequate military forces in time of war.
Addition:From a sociologist's or political scientist's viewpoint, mass conscription is also what could be described as a "team building" exercise. That is, mass conscription is a very socialist concept, where all members of society are brought together (regardless of prior wealth or social station) under the same set of rules and conditions. This leads to a very well-developed sense of shared experience, which can be the foundation for a solid sense of national image and identity. That is, conscription can be used to unify a nation, as the conscripts generally develop a sense of appreciation for all the other members of society (after all, they're all being abused by the same military, so they naturally pull together and form strong interpersonal bonds).This is one of the major advantages that proponents of peacetime draft / conscription / national service advance. That is, conscription can help reduce conflicts due to regionalism, language, race, ethnicity, class, or wealth by forcing all members of society to participate, relate, and work together.

Who told the artist Frederic Remington you furnish the pictures and I'll furnish the war?
Short Answer:
William Randolph Hearst, of the New York Journal.
Long Answer:
In 1896, Spain responded to the Cuban revolt by sending general Valeriando Weyler to Cuba to restore order. Weyler tried to crush the rebellion by herding the entire rural population of central and western Cuba into barbed-wire concentration camps. Here civilians could not give aid to rebels. An estimated 300,000 Cubans filled these camps, where thousands died from hunger and disease. Weyler's actions fueled a war over newspaper circulation that had developed between the American newspaper tycoons William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer. To lure readers, Hearst's New York Journal and Pulitzer's New York World printed exaggerated accounts - by reporters such as James Creelman - of "Butcher" Weyler's brutality. Stories of poisoned wells and of children being thrown to the sharks deepened American sympathy for the rebels. This sensational style of writing, which exaggerates the news to lure and enrage readers, became known as *yellow journalism*. Hearst and Pulitzer fanned war fever. When Hearst sent the gifted artist Frederic Remington to Cuba to draw sketches of reporters' stories, Remington informed the publisher that a war between the United States and Spain seemed very unlikely. Hearst reportedly replied, "You furnish the pictures and I'll furnish the war."

How did the trial of john peter zenger help establish freedom of the press?
John Peter Zenger's trial established freedom of the press in America.
John Peter Zenger became a printer and publisher. His newspaper, the Weekly Journal, carried articles criticizing the royal governor, William Cosby. Angered by these attacks, Cosby ordered Zenger's arrest. At his trial in 1735, Zenger was defended by Andrew Hamilton of Philadelphia, one of the ablest lawyers of the time. He argued that a paper had the right to publish anything that was true. The jury ruled Zenger was not guilty, and he was freed. His case strengthened freedom of the press in the colonies.- These words are taken from a United States History publication by Paul M. Roberts and Paula A. Franklin.
Who is the first female inline to the british throne at present?
Princess Anne
Actually it's Princess Beatrice of York daughter of Prince Andrew who is the younger brother of Princess Anne. Succession is according to the rules of male-preference cognatic primogeniture under which sons inherit before daughters, and under which elder children inherit before younger ones of the same sex.
she was a champion of women's rights in the vein of Betty Friedan and the like, remembered for her activism and was the face of the women's rights movement in the 60's. She famously said "a woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle".
She is not Jewish and after hearing her speaking with Mike Johnson, I believe she is antisemitic. She was only concerned about the Palestinians‘safety. I have newfound respect for Mike Johnson and I am a Democrat. His responses to her were factual and correct. Sadly, not Erin Burnett. She made it clear she was not at all concerned for the Jews on campus or for the people of Israel. Very disappointed in her because i used to be a fan & I will now be watching other channels when her episode is on.
What are the codes of ethics in journalism?
Unrestrained freedom of the press and the activities of journalism gave rise undesirably, to undertakings that were rather detrimental to the society as far as the culture and ethics of people are concerned. Such undertakings by journalist included 'Yellow Journalism', sensationalism, the tendency intruding into private lives for the sheer sake of juicy news and so forth. This gave rise to the importance for the formation of certain ethics in journalism also known as principles that are expected to be abided by.
A journalistic undertaking has to be featured by objectivity, a writing or a deliverance of news completely free from personal opinions and bias. A news has to be balanced and fair without any inclinations of favoritism to one side of the issue. Similarly truthfulness and accuracy should be the feature of a news items. An article should be decently delivered devoid of any sensitive language, any personal derogatory remarks and without resorting to emotionally shocking items like presenting photographs of human corpses. A news agency or press must be independent and not restricted to undertake their activities. And lastly, a news media must be responsible for the same society that gave them the freedom.
