When war erupted in Europe in 1914, American journalists hurried
across the Atlantic ready to cover it the same way they had covered
so many other wars. However, very little about this war was like
any other. Its scale, brutality, and duration forced journalists to
write their own rules for reporting and keeping the American public
informed. American Journalists in the Great War tells the dramatic
stories of the journalists who covered World War I for the American
public. Chris Dubbs draws on personal accounts from contemporary
newspaper and magazine articles and books to convey the experiences
of the journalists of World War I, from the western front to the
Balkans to the Paris Peace Conference. Their accounts reveal the
challenges of finding the war news, transmitting a story, and
getting it past the censors. Over the course of the war, reporters
found that getting their scoop increasingly meant breaking the
rules or redefining the very meaning of war news. Dubbs shares the
courageous, harrowing, and sometimes humorous stories of the
American reporters who risked their lives in war zones to record
their experiences and send the news to the people back home.
