Reporting the Battles
View through CrossRef
This chapter returns to the main role expected of the war correspondents- to report the fighting at first-hand. It is interesting to contrast the achievements of correspondents like William Munday, Thomas Healy, Wilfred Burchett, Darrell Berrigan and Jack Belden in making dramatic reports direct from the battlefield (Pegu and Yenangyaung in particular) with the failure of the earlier correspondents to do so. This was facilitated by challenges to the censorship that the correspondents made, and the growing government recognition that a more liberal approach to censorship would actually be beneficial to the overall war effort. Other issues covered are: correspondents’ coverage of the involvement of the Chinese Army; civilian casualties from Japanese bombing and so-called fifth column activities.
