  Hello,
  
  I am journalism student taking a second honours in history. I am interested in what journalism was like and what information reporters had available to them during WWII. What information would they report back to their home countries?
  
  If anyone could point me towards any information about this, I'd really appreciate it.

  One example I could point you in the direction in, although my information is rather limited. During the landings of DDAy, June 6th 1944, there were several reporters whom tried to capture the experiences. One such reporter did and was able to catch I think 200 photos, but only several survived as the man processing them got so excited he effectively ruined them. I do believe they are some of the only pictures that survived during the inital phase of the landings, but don't quote me on that.

  Try reading 'The first casualty' by Philip knightley. Gives a good account of the history of war journalism from the crimean war to the vietnam war.
