“…The Institute for Propaganda Analysis (IPA), founded by a group of academics, editors, and educators at Columbia University in New York and operating between 1937-41, is one of the most striking institutionalized examples of this effort. With the brochures, bulletins, and publications they prepared, they endeavored to raise public awareness of the propaganda techniques they identified (Fondren, 2021). Propaganda activities continued after World War II by changing their content.…”

In the 1950s in Turkey, textbooks held a crucial role in education and training. The Republic of Turkey, like many modern states, not only kept the principles and procedures of writing and reviewing textbooks very strict through the Board of Education but also took the debates and criticisms seriously. One of the examples of this is the debate about a visual in the Astronomy textbook written by Şerafettin Çintan, a mathematics teacher at Kabataş High School for Boys, which appeared in the Turkish press on 9-17 March 1955 and lasted for nine days. This study aims to analyze and evaluate said debate in the context of the political and pedagogical environment of the period. Designed as qualitative research, the present study is based on document analysis. As the data source of the study, the Astronomy textbook prepared by Şerafettin Çintan, the decisions of the Board of Education on astronomy textbooks, and the newspapers of the period were employed. The data collected within the scope of the study were analyzed through descriptive analysis. As a result of the study, it was found that the examining institutions concluded that the mustache-like shapes in the visuals used in the Astronomy textbook on 16 March 1955 were due to a cliche error and that the Board of Education accepted Şerafettin Çintan's book as a textbook again in December 1955.

“…This study links standpoint theory with the transnational journalism history paradigm, which explores how information travels across borders via news cultures, power structures, and individual agents (Fondren, 2023; Grieves, 2012; Harbers & Broersma, 2021; Seul, 2016, 2021; van Tuyll, 2017, 2021). News is never just unilateral but entangled with political, cultural, and institutional forces beyond national boundaries (Cronqvist & Hilgert, 2017), the process earlier cultural historians described as histoire croiseée/Verflechtungsgeschichte or transfert culturel/Kulturtransfer (Werner & Zimmermann, 2002).…”

This article synthesizes results from historical newspaper analysis and archival research with standpoint epistemology to explore the dynamics of transnational eyewitnessing illustrated by Leonora Raines, a Paris-based American journalist who reported the Great War (1914-1918) for the metropolitan New York Sun. Few World War I military-press histories have explored how female reporters engaged in transnational journalism, harnessing their role as an “outsider within” to produce cross-border stories for audiences dependent on foreign news. Analysis of Raines’ 126 articles, her scrapbook, and records from U.S. and German archives reveal her interactions with foreign sources, military censors, and propaganda across France, the Western Front, and Germany.
