Answer 1

Try Ernie Pyle. He was a journalist in the pacific until he was killed on Iwo Jima by Japanese HMG (heavy machine gun) fire. Try going to www.history.com and typing in Ernie Pyle or Journalists of The Second World War. Either that or try the Tokyo Rose. She was pro Japanese and tried her damnedest to break American spirits in the Pacific.

Answer 2

There are some interesting places you can start: Wikipedia has a nice list of 20th century print journalists. (URL below.)

Also, one of the most famous WWII journalists was a woman... Martha Gellhorn
