American Newsfilm 1914-1919 (RLE The First World War) - Studies at Ohio University.) Mould - Bog

This volume starts by examining the background to the war for the movie industry ¿ the coverage of previous conflicts and the growth of the newsreel. It examines the experiences of American cameramen who worked in the war zone: their efforts to gain access to the front, to overcome problems ranging from unreliable equipment to poor lighting conditions to evading censorship and how this shaped the coverage of the war.
