Developments in World War II, particularly after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, December 7, dominated magazine material relating to the press. An outstanding development was the establishment of a Board of Censorship with Byron Price, Associated Press news executive, appointed as chief censor. The January, 1942, issue of the Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science was devoted to “The Press in the Contemporary Scene” and this symposium covered many of the topics listed in this bibliography.
