Covering the Chinese civil war

Article Abstract:

A reporter covering the Chinese civil war between the communists led by Mao Zedong and the Nationalists led by Chiang Kai Shek was to witness its climax which was the fall of Nanking. He noted that the Chinese civil war had primarily been fought on remote battlefields that were rarely accessed by journalists. He also observed that the Chinese civil war held a valuable lesson to be learned by the US because of its involvement in that conflict. Had the US learned it, it could have avoided the incalculable grief it was to receive in the Vietnam War.

Finding ourselves in the new journalism

Article Abstract:

The year 1968 generally evokes a series of startling news events yet headlines do not begin to carry the emotional weight of that era. It was also in 1968 that the 'New Journalism' type of reporting was born. Others may no longer speak about New Journalism or they have forgotten or never learned what made it meaningful. For an African American reporter, however, New Journalism as an icon of 1968 was to give his life meaning.
