An elite team of reporters brought the Great War home each week to ten million readers of The Sat urday Evening Post. As America’s largest circulation magazine, the Post hired the nation’s best-known and best-paid writers to cover World War I. Rather than mere experts in war, military, foreign affairs, or even journalism, the team that Post editor George Horace Lorimer handpicked included a mystery writer, a humorist, a Southern regional novelist, a children’s book author, and a bard who told rip-roaring adven tures of the Old West. Experts could be boring, Lorimer realized, but a good writer knew how to tell a story. The Weekly War provides a history of the unique record Post storytellers created of World War I, the distinct imprint the Post made on the field of war reporting, and the ways in which Americans wit nessed their first world war. Although some of the Post’s more powerful Great War articles continue to reappear in books and film, they have never been collected in an anthology. As the first book to do so, The Weekly War includes representative articles from across the span of the conflict. Chris Dubbs and Carolyn Edy complement these works with essays about the history and significance of the magazine, the war, and the writers. By the start of the Great War, The Saturday Evening Post had become the most successful and influential magazine in the United States. No other magazine offered up to two hundred pages of enter taining and informative content, by celebrated con tributors, every week—for a nickel! In an age without radio or television, in a country
without a national newspaper, the Post was a source of entertainment, instruction, and news, as well as a shared experience. World War I served as a four-year experiment in how to report a modern war. The news-gathering strate gies and news-controlling practices developed in this war were largely duplicated in World War П and later wars. Over the course of some thousand articles by some of the most prolific writers of the era, The Sat urday Evening Post played an important role in the evolution of war reporting during World War I. |
