Jack Pulwers authors "The Press of Battle: The GI Reporter and the American People"

Mr.. Jack E. Pulwers, a former AFRTS broadcaster, has written a book entitled "The Press of Battle:  The GI Reporter and the American People."
"Jack Pulwers has written a powerful and much-needed book on the oftentimes heroic exploits of the GI reporter.  I encourage anyone who is interested in the history of battle, and especially World War II, to read this inspiring book.  For in its pages, they will discover that the GI reporter was much more than a grunt transmitting the words of battle, but a true representation of the best of the American spirit.  Many of these reporters never left the battlefield, and "The Press of Battle" rightfully honors their sacrifice and contributions.
                         -- Bob Dole, former Senate Majority Leader and WWII veteran"
.....
"Jack Pulwers tells the story of those who provided the eyes and ears for the troops, their families and the rest of the country during World War II.  Inspired by his experiences, "The Press of Battle:  The GI Reporter and the American People" is Pulwers' remarkable in-depth exploration of the press and the media during this pivotal time in American history.  A culmination of thirty years of research, "The Press of Battle" includes over 300 photos and 375 interviews with those who lived, wrote and photographed the news.  The result is a singular and groundbreaking work that enlightens readers on both the civilian presses that were designed to bring news to soldiers and their families worldwide, and the presses that were operated by and for the soldiers."

DINFOS 1991 Alumnus named Newark City Employee of the Month

DINFOS BJC and SITE 1991 alumnus David H. Lippman was honored by Newark Mayor Sharpe James as the City of Newark's top employee for October 2003.

A Public Information Officer for the city, Lippman has written speeches, press releases, proclamations, and statements for the mayor for the past five years.

As a member of the US Navy, Lippman attended DINFOS in Indianapolis in the summer of 1991. 

"We were among the last classes to use typewriters and do classes on public speaking," Lippman recalls.  "My laptop computer was kind of a curiosity.  When I read about the technology being taught today, I feel kind of ancient."  (posted 03/18/2004)
