Summary
[edit]DescriptionSir Douglas Haig with Dominion journalists (4687973555).jpg |
English: Field Marshal Haig with British Empire war correspondents, France, during World War I. In the photograph Haig stands at the centre of the picture smiling. Journalists from Great Britain and her colonies flank Haig, either smiling for the camera, or looking towards the Field Marshal with apparent admiration. This is clearly a photograph taken for propaganda purposes. Behind the smiles the relationship between British journalists and military commanders was often tense and mistrustful. Initially British journalists were stopped from reporting the war by the government and military commanders. In 1915, however, the government began to realise that war correspondents, like photographers, might be useful tools to help maintain British public support for the war. Reporters were thus allowed back to Europe, but they had to be approved by the government, and their stories subjected to censorship. |
