DOI : Version 1. By Gregory Hynes. Australia, London , pp. Selected Bibliography Bone, Andrew G. Townshend, Charles: Making the peace. Metadata Subjects. Author Keywords. GND Subject Headings. This included any description of war and any news that was likely to cause any conflict between the public and military authorities.
The idea was this organisation would censor news and telegraphic reports from the British Army and then issue it to the press. Swinton's reports were first censored at G. Letters written by members of the armed forces to their friends and families were also read and censored by the military authorities. After complaints from the USA the British government decided to look again at how the war was reported. After a Cabinet meeting on the subject in January, , the government decided to change its policy and to allow selected journalists to report the war.
Before their reports could be sent back to England, they had to be submitted to C. Montague , the former leader writer of the Manchester Guardian. Over the next three years other journalists such as John Buchan , Valentine Williams , Hamilton Fyfe and Henry Nevinson , became accredited war correspondents.
To remain on the Western Front , these journalists had to accept government control over what they wrote.
