Description
Reporting America at War explores the role of journalists in covering America's wars. The website, companion to a PBS documentary, offers a teachers guide with lessons on press censorship, message control, the power of pictures, finding the right words, and works by Ernie Pyle and Edward R. Murrow. The documentary examines the challenges of reporting from the front lines and the role of the correspondent in shaping how wars have been understood and remembered.
