Answer :

I'll focus on answering the first part of your question about the hindrances to media's freedom of expression during wars.

2. Threats and Intimidation: Journalists and media outlets can face threats, intimidation, or violence from warring parties, leading to self-censorship and biased reporting.

3. Propaganda and Misinformation: During wars, media outlets might be influenced or controlled by one side, spreading propaganda or misinformation to shape public perception.

These factors can significantly hinder the media's ability to freely report on conflicts and provide accurate information to the public, impacting transparency and accountability during wartime situations.
