Soldiers of the Press is a war drama that was created in New York and syndicated by the World Broadcasting System. The series features 15-minute episodes that retell recent news stories from action during World War II. The show is narrated by United Press correspondents, including Walter Cronkite and Harrison Salisbury, and covers a variety of events such as the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Marines hitting the beach at Guadalcanal, and Doolittle's bombing raid on Tokyo. Veteran New York actors like Lon Clark and Jackson Beck bring vivid action-based narratives to life, highlighting the dedication, bravery, and sacrifice of wartime correspondents and fighting forces.</p><p>The show was broadcast on WOR from February 28, 1943, to August 5, 1945, with a total of 148 episodes known to exist. Currently, there are at least 39 episodes in circulation among fans and collectors. The show was initially aired on WO in New York City before being syndicated by the World Broadcasting System. Some well-known correspondents featured on the show, like Walter Cronkite and Harrison Salisbury, went on to gain greater recognition in the world of journalism. This collection of radio episodes provides a unique glimpse into World War II events as they were experienced and reported during that time, offering a valuable historical resource for those interested in learning more about the war.
