- The War Beat, Europe (OUP, 2019, ix + 435 pages) took over four years’ research and writing. Reviewers have described it as the definitive account of US war reporting during World War II. Cutting across military, political, and media history, examining some thirty newspapers, and based on more than one hundred archival resources scattered across the US, it transforms our understanding of how the media covered this conflict and offers important insights into how a free media operates during crisis. It won the 2018 American Journalism Historians Association Prize for best book in journalism and mass media history.
