An elite team of reporters brought the Great War home each week to
ten million readers of the Saturday Evening Post. As America’s
largest circulation magazine, the Post hired the nation’s
best-known and best-paid writers to cover World War I. The Weekly
War provides a history of the unique record Post storytellers
created of World War I, the distinct imprint the Post made on the
field of war reporting, and the ways in which Americans witnessed
their first world war. The Weekly War includes representative
articles from across the span of the conflict, and Chris Dubbs and
Carolyn Edy complement these works with essays about the history
and significance of the magazine, the war, and the writers. By the
start of the Great War, the Saturday Evening Post had become the
most successful and influential magazine in the United States, a
source of entertainment, instruction, and news, as well as a shared
experience. World War I served as a four-year experiment in how to
report a modern war. The news-gathering strategies and
news-controlling practices developed in this war were largely
duplicated in World War II and later wars. Over the course of some
thousand articles by some of the most prolific writers of the era,
the Saturday Evening Post played an important role in the evolution
of war reporting during World War I.
