International News & Foreign Correspondents (Newswork)

1 review
Stephen Hess

Brookings Institution Press, 1996

Very good book, claryfies the facts of international news
This book is an excellent academic text for journalists or journalism students. It explains with deep knowledge the phenomenom of international news and the fact that the US public opinion is very underinformed about facts that happen outside its boundaries. The study itself, about the characteristics of the US correspondents is very detailed, maybe a bit more than necessary, but is very ...

War Correspondent: From D-Day to the Elbe
Holbrook Bradley

iUniverse, Inc., 2007

The Blue/Gray shoulder patch told us he was one of ours. He'd been hit in the left shoulder, the uniform ripped and bloody, a temporary bandage on the jagged tear which seemed to cover a quarter of his torso. That wax-like face, eyes closed, no sign of breathing will be with me until I die. During World War II, author Holbrook Bradley?s frontline stories of the Twenty-ninth Division, stationed in Europe, became a daily Baltimore Sun ...

The World on a String: How to Become a Freelance Foreign Correspondent

2 reviews
Alan Goodman, John D. Pollack

Holt Paperbacks, 1997

Practical and informative
Goodman tackles a broad subject with a concise eye for the practical approach to becoming a freelance foreign correpondent. He also might make it sound a little too easy, but I think his heart is in the right place and most of the book is realistic about what steps you should take before making the leap into the correspondent ring. Though still a college student, I have used much of Goodman's ...

Border Correspondent: Selected Writings, 1955-1970 (Latinos in American Society and Culture, Vol 6)
Ruben Salazar

Univ of California Pr, 1995

This first major collection of former Los Angeles Times reporter and columnist Ruben Salazar's writings, is a testament to his pioneering role in the Mexican American community, in journalism, and in the evolution of race relations in the U.S. Taken together, the articles serve as a documentary history of the Chicano Movement of the 1960s and of the changing perspective of the nation as a whole. Since his tragic death while covering the ...

A Bohemian Brigade: The Civil War Correspondents--Mostly Rough, Sometimes Ready

James M. Perry

Wiley, 2001

An intriguing look at a the Civil War from a different angle
"I am en route to Washington with details of a great battle. We have carried the day." Thus, the headline of the New York Herald stated about the perceived Union success in that seminal foray the day after the first Civil War battle at Bull Run. General William Sherman vilified them as "the buzzards of the press." George G. Meade "strapped one of them backward on a mule and rode him out ...

Foreign News: Exploring the World of Foreign Correspondents (Lewis Henry Morgan Lecture Series)

1 review
Ulf Hannerz

University Of Chicago Press, 2004

disappointing
The topic is fascinating, and the author is an experienced and thoughtful anthropologist. But the book still fails to take off. It does not have any particularly strong argument to make, and the case studies consist of a few summaries of routine published newspaper articles plus casual observations from the field.

William L. Shirer

Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, 2005

A New Edition of A Great Book
This is a great book and a terrific read. Originally published in 1941 by William L. Shirer, who worked in Berlin during the war with Edward R. Murrow and the radio team of Columbia Broadcasting System, it went on to sell almost 350,000 copies by August and remained at the top of the best-seller-list until after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Shirer worked in Berlin at a time when all of the ...

The War Correspondent
Greg McLaughlin

Pluto Press, 2002

Based on original research and interviews with a range of journalists, this book looks at the changing nature of war reporting. Technology is rapidly transforming the very way in which journalists report from wars. We have witnessed a change in the gender profile of war correspondents as more and more women enter the field -Christiane Amanpour (CNN), Kate Adie (BBC) and Maggie O'Kane (The Guardian). Increasingly, the profession is being defined ...

The Foreign Correspondent: A Novel

65 reviews
Alan Furst

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2007

Evocation of another world
Furst is brilliant at character study, but more than that, he delivers you into another world. Pre-World II Europe becomes present. For anybody who's interested in those years of upheaval, extraordinary courage as well as human frailty and sinister ideologies, please get any of his extraordinary books.

From Our Own Correspondent: A Celebration of Fifty Years of the BBC Radio Programme

Profile Books, 2005

There are few countries and subjects which have not featured on the programme. It covers places as diverse as the Faroes, Moldova, the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan and Sao Tome and Principe, one of Africa's smallest countries. Much of the correspondents' work is little more than writing to television pictures or covering the day's events in one report of perhaps only a minute's duration. From Our Own Correspondent gives some of Britain's most ...

Three Years With Grant: As Recalled by War Correspondent Sylvanus Cadwallader

4 reviews
Sylvanus Cadwallader

Bison Books, 1996

Intimate portrait of General Grant
This is a controversial book because of one reason: the author maintains he witnessed Grant getting drunk during the Vicksburg campaign in 1863. Why this is particularly contentious with Grant supporters is a trifle mystifying, but Grant fans still vociferously contend the author "embellished" or "lied" about the drinking binge. Never mind that two other people who were also with Grant ...

Ahead of Time: My Early Years as a Foreign Correspondent

Ruth Gruber

Basic Books, 2001

Backstory for HAVEN Miniseries
Many of you who see the CBS miniseries will be reading and loving HAVEN,the book, but may be puzzled that the material on Ruth's experiences in 1930s Germany are --missing. Look no further! The information is here. If you are hooked on HAVEN you will want to read this book also, because the flashbacks to Germany are entirely taken from AHEAD OF TIME. It's also a great book. As Joan Michel wrote ...

Adventures of Harriet
An absolutely delightful book. I enjoyed it so much, I passed it on to cat lover friends and have just received an e-mail telling me how much they enjoyed it.

A Taste for Hot Steel: Frontline Encounters of a Foreign Correspondent

2 reviews
Terence White

Penguin Global, 2007

can't afford to miss this
Terence White, for more than 15 years one of the kings of the Afghanistan press corps, writes a thriller that has the additional advantage of being true. He starts by being gut-shot with shrapnel while covering a Kabul mortar attack gone wrong, survives Afghan hospitals and returns a few years later to see what's become of the country. All in all, White gives you a perceptive insider's look at ...

Phillip Knightley

The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2002

The Best Book on the History of Military-Media Relations
As a military officer who works routinely with the media, this book is my number-one choice for anybody who wants to understand how the relationship between media and the military became what it is today. This book simply tells a great story. Whether your interest is in media, the military or history, I think you'll have a hard time putting it down. And while I don't subscribe to Mr. ...
