War Reporting on the Western Front 1914-15

from Explaining History

Initially, all sides in the First World War were wary and suspicious of journalists, fearing they would give away vital intelligence or impede the progress of the war. Later, as the conflict dragged on, politicians in Britain, but not British generals, began to see the propaganda value of journalism.
