Wrong guess?

Wrong guess?

I'm pretty clueless. I chose games from the period. My dad had a pinnocle (sic) board and everyone in the 40's and 50's played bridge. (Well, not the Baptists, I think).

[padisha emperor]

Well, Kathianne didn't answer, I have a question. (next time Kathianne, you'll take my turn to ask your question )

What was the first newspapper (a weekly I believe) who sent for the first time a permanent war reporter informing Europe every weeks, and what was the concerned war ?

Guess: Le Paris Match?

 

[padisha emperor]

No no

This newspapper doesn't exist no more (the searched one), Paris Match still exists.

It was during the Russian-japanese war, 1904-1905.

 

[USViking]

No no

It was during the Russian-japanese war, 1904-1905.

There were numerous war correspondents including
European ones, I believe, during the US Civil War, so
I am not sure what could have been the distinguishing
characteristic of any correspondent during the
Russo-Japanese War 50 years later.

 

[padisha emperor]

Well, in fact, it was the first time with a permanent war correspondant, on the ground....

"L'Illustration" was the concerned newspapper.

I still believe the Civil War was the first one blessed with
such correspondents. Grant had one reporting on his
love of whiskey.

Let me ask the next question:

Reporter born in my home county (Guilford, N.C.) who kept saying:
"This is London" in 1940.
