Represented Reporters: Images of War Correspondents in Memoirs and Fiction


Add your own review!

Overview

War correspondents are prominent actors in the media world. They took hold in the cultural imaginary soon after their profession had been created in the mid-19th century. With a particular focus on Britain, this study investigates the representation of war correspondents from Victorian times to the present, in memoirs, novels and films. Such representations react to prevailing notions that exist about war reporters and participate in their further construction. With its cultural approach, this book complements studies of war correspondents in media and communication studies, history and ethnology.

Reviews

»Im Gegensatz zu den Anfängen der patriotischen Kriegsberichterstattung ist es nunmehr der Typ des pazifistisch gesonnenen investigativen Reporters, der auch die Kritik an der eigenen Regierung nicht scheut und internationales Ansehen genießt. Doch auch dies ist, wie Barbara Korte in ihrer eindrucksvollen und aufschlussreichen Studie [...] darlegt, nur eines der vielfältigen Rollenmuster, derer sich die Kriegsreporter bedienen, um eine möglichst große Resonanz in den Massenmedien zu erzielen.« Peter Zimmermann, MEDIENwissenschaft, 4 (2009) Reviewed in: Tijdschrift voor Geschiedenis, 123 (2010), Bernadette Kester
