      title = {Reporting World War II /},
      abstract = {This set of essays offers new insights into the  journalistic process and the pressures American front-line  reporters experienced covering World War II. Transmitting  stories through cable or couriers remained expensive and  often required the cooperation of foreign governments and  the American armed forces. Initially, reporters from a  neutral America documented the early victories by Nazi  Germany and the Soviet invasion of Finland. Not all  journalists strived for objectivity. During her time  reporting from Ireland, Helen Kirkpatrick remained a fierce  critic of this country's neutrality. Once the United States  joined the fight after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor,  American journalists supported the struggle against the  Axis powers, but this volume will show that reporters, even  when members of the army sponsored, Stars and Stripes were  not mere ciphers of the official line. African American  reporters Roi Ottley and Ollie Stewart worked to bolster  the morale of Black GIs and they undermine the  institutional racism endemic to the American war effort.  Women front-line reporters are given their due in this  volume examining the struggles to overcome gender bias by  examining triumphs of Thérèse Mabel Bonney, Lee Carson,  Iris Carpenter, and Anne Stringer.The line between public  relations and journalism could be a fine one as reflected  by the U.S. Marine Corps creating its own network of Marine  correspondents who reported on the Pacific island campaigns  and had their work published by American media outlets.  Despite the pressures of censorship, the best American  reporters strove for accuracy in reporting the facts even  when dependent on official communiques issued by the  military. Many war-time reporters, even when covering major  turning points, sought to embrace a reporting style that  recorded the experiences of average soldiers. Often  associated with Ernie Pyle and Bill Mauldin, the embrace of  the human-interest story served as one of the enduring  legacies of the conflict.Despite the importance of American  war reporting in shaping perceptions of the war on the home  front as well as shaping the historical narrative of this  conflict, this work underscores how there is more to learn.  Readers will gain from this work and new appreciation of  the contribution of American journalists in writing the  first version of history as the global struggle against  Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, and Fascist Italy.},
