It now serves as a useful historical guide to international news from the early 1900s to the beginning of World War II. Documents, books, pamphlets, magazines articles, and studies are include ... d in sections labeled either "International News" or "Foreign Press," and then arranged in chapters such as "Washington Correspondence," "Foreign Correspondence," "Censorship," "Press Law," "News Gathering Organizations," and "Press and Public Opinion."
