This national project will be the first study to examine the collective history of Australian journalists and photojournalists who have covered major wars and international conflicts from the Boer War to the 'war on terror'. It will be a timely and path breaking contribution to history, offering a new understanding of key issues including the journalists' experiences; the discourses that defined Australian national identity; truth and mythmaking; war correspondents' influence on public commemoration and how they shaped attitudes to war, allies, enemies and race; how reporting changed; and the role of political and military censorship.

这个国家项目将是第一个研究澳大利亚记者和摄影记者的集体历史，他们报道了从布尔战争到“反恐战争”的重大战争和国际冲突。这将是对历史的及时和开创性的贡献，提供了对关键问题的新理解，包括记者的经历;定义澳大利亚国家身份的话语;真相和神话制作;战地记者对公众纪念活动的影响以及他们如何塑造对战争，盟友，敌人和种族的态度;报道如何改变;以及政治和军事审查的作用。
