Qu’est-ce qui conduit une journaliste à choisir la guerre comme terrain de travail ? Être reportère de conflits armés, c’est à la fois s’engager, rejoindre un collectif professionnel (une « amitié dentifrice », disait Isabel Ellsen), mais aussi connaître l’ennui, voir la violence, risquer des blessures, un « jeu personnel avec la mort » témoignait Brigitte Friang. L’ouvrage se penche sur cette activité pour comprendre comment elle est vécue, quels bénéfices en sont tirés, quels dommages en découlent, comment les proches y contribuent. Il montre comment les situations de tension extrême construisent un attachement particulier au monde, un goût singulier. Il interroge aussi la place grandissante des journalistes femmes, le rôle des ressources de genre et des assignations dans cette transformation, les inégalités persistantes. Ce livre emprunte un chemin original pour répondre à ces questions. L’auteur propose d’abord quinze portraits subjectifs et exploratoires de femmes (Andrée Viollis, Gerda Taro, Oriana Fallaci, Christine Spengler, Catherine Jentile…) qui, depuis un siècle, ont couvert des conflits armés. Ensuite, à travers l’analyse des carrières et des entretiens avec une cinquantaine de journalistes, femmes et hommes, qui exercent ou ont exercé sur des terrains de conflit, ainsi qu’une dizaine de leurs proches, il interroge les circonstances et les intérêts pour un métier où désormais, dans la plus jeune génération, la parité des effectifs s’établit.

This set of essays offers new insights into the journalistic process and the pressures American front-line reporters experienced covering World War II. Transmitting stories through cable or couriers remained expensive and often required the cooperation of foreign governments and the American armed forces. Initially, reporters from a neutral America documented the early victories by Nazi Germany and the Soviet invasion of Finland. Not all journalists strived for objectivity. During her time reporting from Ireland, Helen Kirkpatrick remained a fierce critic of this country’s neutrality. Once the United States joined the fight after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, American journalists supported the struggle against the Axis powers, but this volume will show that reporters, even when members of the army sponsored, Stars and Stripes were not mere ciphers of the official line. African American reporters Roi Ottley and Ollie Stewart worked to bolster the morale of Black GIs and they undermine the institutional racism endemic to the American war effort. Women front-line reporters are given their due in this volume examining the struggles to overcome gender bias by examining triumphs of Thérèse Mabel Bonney, Lee Carson, Iris Carpenter, and Anne Stringer.The line between public relations and journalism could be a fine one as reflected by the U.S. Marine Corps creating its own network of Marine correspondents who reported on the Pacific island campaigns and had their work published by American media outlets. Despite the pressures of censorship, the best American reporters strove for accuracy in reporting the facts even when dependent on official communiques issued by the military. Many war-time reporters, even when covering major turning points, sought to embrace a reporting style that recorded the experiences of average soldiers. Often associated with Ernie Pyle and Bill Mauldin, the embrace of the human-interest story served as one of the enduring legacies of the conflict.Despite the importance of American war reporting in shaping perceptions of the war on the home front as well as shaping the historical narrative of this conflict, this work underscores how there is more to learn. Readers will gain from this work and new appreciation of the contribution of American journalists in writing the first version of history as the global struggle against Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, and Fascist Italy.

When World War I began, war reporting was a thoroughly masculine bastion of journalism. But that did not stop dozens of women reporters from stepping into the breach, defying gender norms and official restrictions to establish roles for themselves—and to write new kinds of narratives about women and war. Chris Dubbs tells the fascinating stories of Edith Wharton, Nellie Bly, and more than thirty other American women who worked as war reporters. As Dubbs shows, stories by these journalists brought in women from the periphery of war and made them active participants—fully engaged and equally heroic, if bearing different burdens and making different sacrifices. Women journalists traveled from belligerent capitals to the front lines to report on the conflict. But their experiences also brought them into contact with social transformations, political unrest, labor conditions, campaigns for women's rights, and the rise of revolutionary socialism. An eye-opening look at women's war reporting, An Unladylike Profession is a portrait of a sisterhood from the guns of August to the corridors of Versailles.
