"During World War II newspapermen found many of their assignments centered on the 'fighting fronts' of the various campaigns. Among this group was Ernie Pyle, who became especially well-known, closely followed, and warmly admired for his accounts of army life. Through his graphic reporting Pyle endeared himself to civilians at home whose relatives and friends were at these outposts, and to military personnel abroad who felt that Pyle was telling their story and was writing for them, as they could not, their letters home. One of these soldiers, this writer, became interested in the writings of Pyle, while serving in the Asiatic-Pacific Theater during World War II. In fact, the writer was a member of the 77th Infantry Division, which Ernie Pyle was visiting when he was killed. Because of this interest the writer, in his search for a topic for a Master's paper that would foster bibliographic competency, thought worthwhile a consideration of the life and works of Ernie Pyle. Such a study was believed to be of possible value to librarians and students as well as a practical exercise in bibliography and library research for a prospective librarian"--Introduction. / Carbon copy of typescript. / "February, 1957." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Ruth H.

This dissertation investigates the phenomenon of the digitally native production of foreign and international news in Anglo-American media. The focus is on the news startups I am calling “virtual foreign bureaus” (VFBs), independent, professional and niche news outlets that carry out much of the reporting remotely. These news startups have increased in numbers and importance with the shutdowns of foreign bureaus in traditional news organizations. Using newsroom visits, interviews, and content analysis, I compare and contrast journalistic routines and norms of VFBs with those of traditional foreign correspondence. As organizations, VFBs are more networked and less hierarchal than traditional foreign bureaus. I find a different use of sources, with open-source Web databases, crowdsourced material, and social network sources taking precedence over traditional “human” sources, because the former are more accessible to VFBs and also seen as more verifiable than the latter. Despite these differences, I note an increasing convergence of the norms of VFBs and traditional foreign correspondence, working toward the creation of a hybrid professional identity. As organizations, VFBs are entrepreneurial, seeking to combine multiple funding streams to achieve financial independence and sustainability. They rely heavily on foundation grants and partnerships, but such relationships rarely constitute a sustainable business model. I argue that any meaningful solution to the financial woes of foreign reporting should include policy interventions and an infusion of public funds.
