Abstract

Abstract: Across the opening months and years of World War II in Europe, British officials worked to feed American journalists, correspondents, and broadcasters positive news stories for the purpose of garnering much-needed sympathy and support for Britain's war effort. In particular, officials at the BBC American Liaison Unit and the Ministry of Information's American Division forged a close working relationship with US broadcaster Edward R. Murrow by attempting to arrange special privileges and facilities. However, officials and senior military personnel at the war ministries and Foreign Office obscured these efforts, limiting the adult, intelligent type of war Murrow wanted to report to the American people.
