Descrição: [...]special correspondence was an innovation that should be studied alongside “technologies that sought to carry human perception across time and space: the photograph and telegraph” (219). Even as the telegraph became requisite to delivering the news in a timely manner for an eager reading public, Waters explains, journalists also relied on antiquated transmission technologies, including carrier pigeons and balloon post. [...]while discursive telegraphic intelligence about the war was published speedily, the special correspondents’ reports, generally delivered by post, often lagged behind the news cycle when they finally arrived in print. [...]a determination “to be first with the news” came into full force, often at the expense of accuracy and detail (116).
