The Press and the Origins of the Cold War, 1944-1947:

This unprecedented study of the media's role during the early stages of the cold war focuses on four major news organizations: the New York Herald Tribune, the Chicago Tribune, the San Francisco Chronicle, and Time magazine. Based on interviews with journalists who covered the news from 1944 to 1947, the book details the attitudes and predilections of the organizations involved and reveals the concerns of the writers themselves. The author rejects previously held views on the inevitability of the cold war--demonstrating that news coverage not only included but also reinforced popular images of the Soviet Union after World War II.Louis W.
