Photographers 3/31 Presentation

The Photographers of WWII were an important part of this time period for two reasons.  One they could create training videos to better train and prepare new troops.  And two they could better bring the information back home to the people in America.  This created a new cultural awareness that before had not impacted society as much as it now could.  Pictures were printed in magazines and short movie clips were shown weekly.  

This allowed people to create their own thoughts and ideas about what was going on overseas.  In some cases it gave people an empowerment to know what was really going on.  However this was not actually doing what many really thought it did.  People could not see the whole truth even with this photography.  Media sensory did not always allow the truth to be printed.  Facts were distorted or left out.  Few photographers would even see the real front line.  Was this good for the viewers to be seeing?
