Much of American history of the Sixties and Seventies was captured through the lens of ABC Network's top documentary filmmaker, Ralph C. Mayher. From the bottom of the ocean to the air above Vietnam, from the battle of Wounded Knee to the hippie Mecca of Haight-Ashbury, from the Men in Black to the Mob and from California to Cuba, Mayher and his camera and crew were there bringing the news of the world into our living room television sets. He filmed and got to know personally many of the men and women who fashioned those years, including Robert Kennedy, Russell Means and Dennis Banks, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, Richard and Pat Nixon, Reagan, Groucho Marx, Lenny Bruce, General Curtis LeMay and George C. Scott. His story is our story, now told through the historical lens of the man who was on the scene to record on film the breaking news stories of the era.

Newsreel cinema and television not only served as an important tool in the shaping of political spheres and the construction of national and cultural identities up to the 1960s. Today's potent televisual forms were furthermore developed in and strongly influenced by newsreels, and much of the archived newsreel footage is repeatedly used to both illustrate and re-stage past events and their significance. This book addresses newsreel cinema and television as a medium serving the formation of cultural identities in a variety of national contexts after 1945, its role in forming audiovisual narratives of a »biopic of the nation«, and the technical, aesthetical, and political challenges of archiving and restaging cinematic and televisual newsreel.

For fifty years, the newsreel was a fixture in American movie theaters. Released twice a week, less than ten minutes long, each had news footage that combined journalism with entertainment. With the advent of television news programs after World War II, newsreels began to be obsolete, but they remain the first instances of moving image photographic journalism and were for decades a unique source of information--and misinformation. This history details the full span of the American newsreel from 1911 to 1967, discussing the European forerunners, changes in the American version over time, and the ethical and unethical use of newsreels in present-day television documentaries. Photographs, bibliography and index.

This book, first published in 1988, provides a comparative approach for looking at the filmic witness of the final days of the Third Reich, and the opening of the period often referred to as Stunde Null (Zero Hour) – that moment when a new Germany emerged from catastrophic destruction. Brought together in this volume are articles by a group of international scholars each dealing with the message of German defeat as it was presented to the people of the Soviet Union, the United States, Great Britain, Poland, Switzerland and Germany itself. Not only are newsreels and immediate post-war documentaries dealt with but also the very important Welt im Film Newsreel which was used by the Americans and British for the political reeducation of Germany.
