ABSTRACT
To describe the role and function of industrial correspondents in the post war world, from the end of the Second World War in 1945, it is necessary first of all to describe the climate and the ambience of that post-war world. I was a young journalist just returning from nearly six years in the armed forces. My pre-war world, then, seemed as far removed as the immediate post-war period does to a contemporary generation. Everything had changed; most of all ourselves as individuals.
