The Korean War was not well reported. The Vietnam War was on television and the news every single day. The first Gulf War had a media blackout except for pool reports.
The second Gulf War had the blackout lifted.
Actually in more detail, the American public doesn't seem to understand there is a war going on.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
