戰爭資訊局 (The Office of War Information) 成立了
1942
613

「山姆大叔要你去當兵!」這是美國人在第二次世界大戰期間常常看到的海報。為了吸引更多美國公民投入支持戰爭的各項工作,就在珍珠港遭到轟炸的七個月後,政府在1942613日設立了戰爭資訊局。戰爭資訊局的攝影師透過展示飛機工廠、軍隊人員,以及婦女工作隊人員的照片,來記錄美國人的生活與文化。透過宣傳,戰爭資訊局希望能夠激起美國大眾人民的愛國心。


"Uncle Sam wants you!" That's what Americans read on posters during World War II. To attract U.S. citizens to jobs in support of the war effort, the government created the Office of War Information (OWI) on June 13, 1942, seven months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. OWI photographers documented American life and culture by showing aircraft factories, members of the armed forces, and women in the workforce. Using propaganda (photographs and captions with emotional content), the OWI aimed to inspire patriotic fervor in the American public.
