Journalism and the Russo-Japanese War: The End of the Golden Age of Combat Correspondence

by Michael Sweeney

Book Overview

This book examines Japan's victory over Russia in 1904-05 and how it overhauled press-military relations, ending sixty years of battlefield freedom for correspondents. The authors argue that Japan controlled access and allowed only a narrowly constrained view of the war to circulate, thus creating the template for all modern wars.
