News secrecy debated at Times forum leads to potential press cooperation break
At a New York Times forum held in New York on October 29, Ron Price urged that ample war news from the government is essential to prevent a collapse of voluntary press and radio cooperation. Elmer Davis of the Office of War Information defended controlled disclosures while noting the Pearl Harbor aftermath and ongoing naval casualty reporting. Davis argued U S Navy communiques stay closer to the truth than enemy reports and that security versus public right to know requires ongoing debate and careful balance.
