Looking back into the previous era, in times like the Second World War, (mostly) all coverage of the fighting was done by war correspondents - civilian reporters who went into combat with the regular soldiers.
They are responsible for the famous picture of the Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima (which was actually the second flag raised, and IIRC that picture was not taken under fire).
- wanderer_ 5y agoI have some very fascinating photos and documentation of WWII war correspondents, if people are interested I might put them in a repo or something.
