For the newspaper profession the problems confronted in reporting the civil war were as catalytic as the war itself was for american society. Many of the problems encountered in reporting later wars were present in the civil war, but they were new problems then: communications, transportation, federal confiscation of printing presses, censorship, military personalities, and, after mid-1863, how to tell a proud people that it was losing the war. Professor andrews, author of the north reports the civil war (1955), now turns his attention to the south.
