News flash : a comparison of journalists in fiction and non-fiction : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

In this paper, I will examine some portrayals of international correspondents in twentieth century fiction and non-fiction. The literature I will use is Scoop by Evelyn Waugh; The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway; and "How I Got That Story," a screenplay by Amlin Gray. I will also compare the fictional journalists to real correspondents, analyzing how the latter view their own profession. I will use the following as references: The Face of War by Martha Gellhorn, Live From the Battlefield, by Peter Arnett, and an interview with ABC television correspondent Steve Bell.
