Description
"For much of the 1930s, the Associated Press (AP) brought images and stories about the rise of Nazi Germany and life inside the Third Reich back to millions of American readers. However, in doing so the AP had to make a variety of arrangements with German authorities in order to obtain photographs and get access to sources. This included changes at AP GmbH, a subsidiary of the AP, which was established in 1931 as part of AP's global expansion but soon became a battleground where American free-press values confronted and also compromised with Joseph Goebbels's propaganda apparatus and the Nazi's anti-Semitics edicts. Meanwhile, American AP reporters had to navigate an increasingly hostile Nazi government that sought to carefully control the news and their image abroad. Focusing on personalities such as Louis Lochner, the AP bureau chief, and Willy Brandt, a German journalist who continued to work at AP GmbH during the war despite his antipathy to the Nazis, Larry Heinzerling and Randy Herschaft examine how the Associated Press, at that point one of the largest news organizations in the world, covered Nazi Germany from the rise of Hitler to the beginning of World War. The book also documents the AP's coverage of the Holocaust and the liberation of concentration camps after the War. As the authors demonstrate, the AP's coverage of Nazi Germany speaks to issues regarding press freedom, covering dictatorships, corporate collusion, the pursuit of balanced reporting, and even survival in a totalitarian state"--,Provided by publisher.
