Abstract

The course of World War I harmed the major European news agencies, favoured the US agencies and changed the state of play in South America, and to a lesser extent in Africa and Asia. Propaganda polluted news; censorship, in various forms, often triumphed. “Regime change” in Russia and elsewhere had lasting consequences for the international news flow. And applications of new technologies, concerning radio and cinema newsreels, if still in their infancy, presaged, in American parlance, “a whole new ball game”. War reporting was almost a non-sequitur: propaganda and censorship triumphed in belligerent countries more than ever before: factual reporting was rare.
