Download or read book Claudius Bombarnac The Adventures of a Special Correspondent written by Jules Verne and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2014-11-03 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ubiquitous interviewer has been chosen as the motif of this feat of Jules Verne's imagination, and in the company of Claudius Bombarnac, special correspondent of the Twentieth Century, the reader has the full advantage of the romancer's opportunities. The shadowy and unknown regions of Central Asia, or the boundary land between Europe and that continent, are rapidly passed on the Grand Transasiatic Railway, which the author's magic wand speedily makes ready for use. The strange sights and experiences with which the book is crammed may or may not be true, nor can they easily be tested by the critic. He is fain to accept what Bombarnac, with the special correspondent's characteristic veracity, chooses to tell him. As the story is too full of detail to be told in a line or two, we must leave our readers to gather its wonders for himself. They are, we may assure him, inferior to none of the author's previous efforts in that direction.

Download or read book Foreign Correspondent written by H.D.S. Greenway and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-08-19 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Greenway, a journalist’s journalist in the tradition of Michael Herr, David Halberstam, and Dexter Filkins. In this vivid memoir, he tells us what it’s like to report a war up close. Reporter David Greenway was at the White House the day Kennedy was assassinated. He was in the jungles of Vietnam in that war’s most dangerous days, and left Saigon by helicopter from the American embassy as the city was falling. He was with Sean Flynn when Flynn decided to get an entire New Guinea village high on hash, and with him hours before he disappeared in Cambodia. He escorted John le Carre around South East Asia as he researched The Honourable Schoolboy. He was wounded in Vietnam and awarded a Bronze Star for rescuing a Marine. He was with Sidney Schanberg and Dith Pran in Phnom Penh before the city descended into the killing fields of the Khmer Rouge. Greenway covered Sadat in Jerusalem, civil war and bombing in Lebanon, ethnic cleansing and genocide the Balkans, the Gulf Wars (both), and reported from Afghanistan and Iraq as they collapsed into civil war. This is a great adventure story—the life of a war correspondent on the front lines for five decades, eye-witness to come of the most violent and heroic scenes in recent history.
Download or read book Special Correspondence and the Newspaper Press in Victorian Print Culture 1850 1886 written by Catherine Waters and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-06 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the significance of the special correspondent as a new journalistic role in Victorian print culture, within the context of developments in the periodical press, throughout the second half of the nineteenth century. Examining the graphic reportage produced by the first generation of these pioneering journalists, through a series of thematic case studies, it considers individual correspondents and their stories, and the ways in which they contributed to, and were shaped by, the broader media landscape. While commonly associated with the reportage of war, special correspondents were in fact tasked with routinely chronicling all manner of topical events at home and abroad. What distinguished the work of these journalists was their effort to ‘picture’ the news, to transport readers imaginatively to the events described. While criticised by some for its sensationalism, special correspondence brought the world closer, shrinking space and time, and helping to create our modern news culture.
