This book explores how print journalism was a powerful and
persistent influence on public attitudes to, and memories of, the
First World War in a range of participant nations, including
Britain, France, Germany, Ireland, the United States and Australia.
With contributions from an international group of history,
journalism and literary studies scholars, the book identifies and
analyses five distinct roles played by the print media: producing
and narrating histories of the war or its constituent episodes;
serialising and reviewing memoirs or fictional accounts written by
participants; reporting and framing the rituals and ceremonies of
local and national commemoration; providing a platform for various
war-related advocacy groups or campaigns, from veterans'
associations to early Civil Rights movements; and using the war as
a lens through which to interpret future conflicts. This innovative
collection demonstrates the significance of journalism in shaping
the public understanding of the First World War after 1918, and
shows how the representations and narratives of the conflict
reflected the political and social changes of the post-war decades.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Journalism
Studies.
