Balkan War Reporting
Diana Johnstone analyzes Gutman's reportage during the Balkan wars (early 1990s), and raises numerous questions.[1] In particular, Gutman's report on Jadranka Cigelj helped launch the "rape camps" hysteria[citation needed]. He is known to have associated with Cigelj for a long time, and she happens to be a senior propagandist in the Croatian government, and before that in the war propaganda department in Croatia[citation needed]. She was co-chairman of the rightwing HDZ party[citation needed]. It transpires that her claims of having been in a "rape camp" were fabricated, and that this was an elaborate hoax propagated by several US-based PR companies[citation needed].
