Media too free for some Iraqis

"BASRA, Iraq – Sabla Talal's understanding of the world started to turn upside down when Iraq's dictatorship collapsed in 2003, ending 35 years of tight government control over broadcast and print media.

Now, two years later, uncensored television broadcasts from abroad bring "naked women" and "people with tattoos" into her living room, said Ms. Talal, a University of Basra history lecturer. Children are adopting all kinds of new fads because of the shocking images they see on television and the Internet."
