*Summary*
War reporting has made a massive impression on the public not only in 
how wars are fought
but why they are fought. The ability of the public to ‘see’ what is 
happening at the front
changed the public’s attitude to war in very many respects and even where a
war may be
‘popular’ the involvement of the press led to criticisms that have 
changed war almost in
equal measure to the changes brought about by weapons technology.
The book will be a compilation of historical and contemporary stories of 
the war
corresp
ondent and battlefield photographer from the earliest days of modern war 
reporting to
the present. It will seek to determine the changes in style, method and 
practice of the work of
the war correspondent and examine the changes in attitudes to, and how the
public view war
from the high point of imperialism to the present day jihad.
This book will be of interest to journalists, academics and students. By 
mixing historical
analysis with contributions from modern war reporters it will analyse 
such subjects as
the
role of propaganda in winning over the public to support wars of 
aggression, the portrayal of
war as entertainment, the use of technology in war reporting and the 
lives, and sadly often
the deaths of those who take on this most dangerous and disturbin
g vocation.
Since modern war reporting commenced following the inventions of the 
electric telegraph
and the camera there have been many different approaches to how the news 
should be
brought to the reader and later the listener and viewer. The military ha
ve had a volatile
relationship with the press as conflicting interests always operated. On 
the one hand the
military want their victories properly acknowledged while their failures 
as well hidden as
possible. Military strategy needs secrecy but the press i
s about openness.
