Both a News Division and a Films Division were established to help get out the war message. The CPI's daily newspaper, called the "Official Bulletin", began at eight pages and grew to 32. It was distributed to every newspaper, post office, government office, and military base. Stories were designed to report positive news. For example, the CPI promoted an image of well-equipped US troops preparing to face the Germans that were belied by the conditions visiting Congressmen reported. The CPI released three feature-length films: "Pershing's Crusaders" (May 1918), "America's Answer (to the Hun)" (August 1918), "Under Four Flags" (November 1918). They were unsophisticated attempts to impress the viewer with snippets of footage from the front, far less sensational than the "crudely fantastical" output of Hollywood in the same period.
