War publicity shifts to weekly talks by General March
Washington reports a new era in war publicity as Maj. Gen. Peyton C. March, chief of staff, authorizes weekly briefings to newspaper men. The policy, adopted after his France service, contrasts with Pershing and Baker, who were cautious about releasing information. March speaks plainly about difficulties and dangers, presenting a soldier’s view rather than allied presidential spin.
