AP controversially kept photojournalists in Nazi Germany. But is that the whole picture?

A new book explores the ethical compromises made by the Associated Press (AP) when operating in Nazi Germany. The book, titled 'Newshawks in Berlin: The Associated Press and Nazi Germany,' examines the AP's decision to keep its photojournalists in Germany during the Third Reich, despite the persecution of Jewish employees. The AP complied with Nazi legislation, but also helped dismissed Jewish employees escape Germany. The book also reveals that some AP photos were used in Nazi propaganda, and the agency had a secret photo-exchange arrangement with a German agency. The AP's conduct during this period continues to generate controversy, with survivors of the 2023 Hamas attack suing the AP for allegedly being complicit in the invasion.
