Haiti 1990-6: Older and Younger Journalists in the Post-Cold War WorldUniversity of California, Los Angeles, aholohan{at}ucla.edu The events in Haiti in the early 1990s - the overthrowing of the democratically elected president, the subsequent internationally imposed economic embargo and the international military intervention that reinstated the President - provided a historical moment when the correlation of the age of journalists with their professional attitudes and practices was thrown into sharp relief as three generations worked alongside each other in a radically changing world. US print journalists working in Haiti at this time adopted substantially different journalistic beliefs and practices depending on whether they were the last of the post-Second World War generation of journalists, journalists who began their careers during or just after the Vietnam War, or journalists who had begun working since the end of the Cold War. The generational differences provide an opportunity to gain insights into the dynamics of the profession of foreign correspondents.
