Combat!: No Hallelujahs for Glory (1963) (TV)

A newspaper reporter with a penchant for getting into trouble wants to do a story on the war and Saunders has to keep an eye on her.

Quite interesting episode, with a good deal of complexity in it and a strong yet somewhat misguided critique of the press. The forgotten aspect is that newspaper coverage was in the best interest of the war effort inasmuch as it helped build a favorable public opinion, which translated into tax dollars.
