'Soldiers of the Press'

Newsman Walter Cronkite recalls the United Press World War II radio drama that used actors to portray its reporters in the field. While the real Walter Cronkite was covering the air war over Germany, an actor played "Walter Cronkite" in the series, 'Soldiers of the Press,' as part of a media public relations war.
