صقور الأخبار في برلين .. وكالة أسوشيتد برس وألمانيا النازية

After the Nazis came to power in Germany in 1933, the Associated Press (AP) brought news of life under the Third Reich to tens of millions of American readers. The Associated Press was America's most important foreign news source, but to continue coverage under the Nazi regime, the agency made journalistic and ethical compromises. Its correspondents and photographers in Berlin suffered harsh censorship, adhered to anti-Semitic edicts, and faced charges of spreading pro-Nazi propaganda. However, despite restrictions, pressures and concessions, the Associated Press' "news hawks" in Berlin provided more than a thousand American newspapers with comprehensive coverage of the Nazis' campaigns to invade Europe and exterminate the continent's Jews. "News Hawks in Berlin" reveals how the Associated Press covered Nazi Germany from its beginnings until after World War II. Larry Heinsling and Randy Herschaft looked through previously classified government documents, delved into memos, letters and newspaper reports, and reviewed thousands of published stories and photographs to examine what the AP reported and what it left out. Their research reveals intense internal debates about how to report under a dictatorship, revealing decisions that sometimes prioritized commercial ambitions over journalistic ethics. The book also documents AP's coverage and exposure of the Holocaust. Featuring comprehensive research and unforgettable characters, this book highlights how the dilemmas of reporting on Nazi Germany remain familiar to journalists covering authoritarian regimes today.
