Author Noel Marie Fletcher's skillfully organized narrative is enlivened and ennobled by heradmirable balancing of the varied personal accounts..., Reporting the Nuremburg Trials is steeped in reverence for an era in journalism faintly lit by modern history despite its many parallels to today. Fletcher again and again reveals lessons for today's real-time news cycles, including the perils of misinformation, professional subterfuge and abbreviated ethics., Reporting is often the first step in defining history. The Nuremberg trials have been seen and experienced through media and are part of how we saw the aftermath of WW2. Through this book, we can also see the making of this important story, and knowing what was done in preparation and behind the scenes gives depth and meaning to the important journalistic work., Full of relevance for the present, this book not only places the journalists who reported from the Nuremberg trials centre stage but, with them, the very idea of vocation central to any meaningful definition of journalism in a democracy. More complex than a potentially dry report, we have instead a cross-fertilisation of serious political commentary with accounts of the human interest latent in the foibles and fanaticism of the Nazis brought into the public gaze. Despite the wealth of underpinning archival material, the pace never flags and the style remains engaging throughout., Author Noel Marie Fletcher's skillfully organized narrative is enlivened and ennobled by her admirable balancing of the varied personal accounts..., "There is a lot to like here, from the you-are-there courtroom coverage, to the descriptions of Germany in the immediate postwar period, to reflections on recording and disseminating history, and finally to lessons that are relevant to journalists -- and their readers or listeners today... this is a book that historians, journalists, and citizens alike can enjoy and learn from. The author's conclusion is "had it not been for these correspondents, the Nuremberg trials likely would continue to sit on law library bookshelves filling twenty-two volumes with pages yellowing in time.", While the writing is lively, this is a carefully reported story. The primary sources are newspaper articles buttressed by memoirs and trial transcripts. Author Fletcher, who is herself a seasoned journalist, spent time in spent time in Nuremberg itself to make sure she absorbed the feel of the place., Reporting the Nuremberg Trials brings to life in vivid detail the evidence, the atmosphere of tension, and the personalities assigned to inform the world about the 20th century's most consequential tribunal that brought the most notorious war criminals of the Nazi regime to justice. A must-read for scholars and students of history, human rights, and the role of media in the modern world.

Synopsis
First account of how newspaper, broadcast, and wire service journalists covered the nuremberg trials, focusing on the first nuremberg trial (international military tribunal) which set a precedent for subsequent trials, New insights into how the U.S. military created a hollywood-style courtroom environment to show Nazi evils to the world with innovative approaches to technology, Fascinating look at decadent life of foreign press corps from the U.K., Australia, France, U.S. and Soviet Union Housed together in a castle in nuremberg, Details about how U.S. Military formed denazified German press corps to cover trial of third reich leaders for Germans living under occupation, Featuring famous and forgotten cartoonists, writers, photographers and radio personalities who provided coverage of the trial of leading Nazi war criminals, "Reporting the Nuremburg Trials is steeped in reverence for an era in journalism faintly lit by modern history despite its many parallels to today. Fletcher again and again reveals lessons for today's real-time news cycles, including the perils of misinformation, professional subterfuge and abbreviated ethics." -- Jesse Garnier, Journalism Chair and Associate Professor, San Francisco State University For the first time, journalists who shared details about Nazi crimes from the International Military Tribunal, better known as the Nuremberg Trial, have their own story told.As World War II in Europe drew to a close in 1945, the Allies prepared to hold Nazi leaders accountable for crimes against humanity and selected Nuremberg as the site for the trial. The U.S. military took the lead in refurbishing a courtroom and making accommodations for 325 journalists and 23 defendants plus Allied judges, prosecutors, translators and administrative staff. Because publicity was a main consideration, the latest innovations and technology were incorporated into the courtroom to enhance news coverage of the trial. Press passes were in demand worldwide for courtroom seats. A press pool was selected to witness the executions in which 10 criminals were hung on Oct. 16, 1946.Famous war correspondents and young journalists who later became household names were headquartered in a castle, explored bombed ruins and faced dangers as a lingering spirit of Nazism seethed within the city. The lengthy trial became an excruciating endurance test for journalists by the time it ended (far longer than expected) on Oct. 1, 1946, setting a precedent for coverage of subsequent justice at Nuremberg.The author, a long-time journalist and former foreign correspondent, provides an insider's look at how the news was gathered and conveyed. The book is based on extensive research and insights gathered from Nuremberg, including at the location where the journalists were housed and at the courtroom itself.
