Newspaper Clipping: 'Two Newsmen Wounded in Korea Ambush,' United Press Wire Story, September 1950
This September 1950 newspaper clipping reports the wounding of two war correspondents, Philip Potter of the Baltimore Sun and Jean Marie de Premonville of the French Press Agency, when their jeep was ambushed while returning from the front lines in Korea. Preserved within a personal wartime document collection, the clipping is a reminder of the extraordinary risks faced by journalists covering the Korean War, whose reporting brought the realities of the conflict home to readers even as they shared in its dangers.
