'''Reportage Press''' was a [publishing house](/source/publishing_house) specialising in "books on foreign affairs or set in foreign countries, or just books written from a stranger's view."[{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20071217223124/http://www.reportagepress.com/index.php Reportage Press]}}]
In reaction to the lack of quality books on foreign affairs, Reportage Press was established in 2007 by two former journalists: [Charlotte Eagar](/source/Charlotte_Eagar), a foreign correspondent who has covered conflicts such as the [Iraq War](/source/Iraq_War) and [Balkan](/source/Yugoslav_wars) wars; and [Rosie Whitehouse](/source/Rosie_Whitehouse), a former BBC journalist.[{{cite news|url=http://www.thebookseller.com/news/49875-reportage-grows-its-list.html|title=Reportage grows its list|date=2007-12-13|work=thebookseller.com|accessdate=2009-02-06|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090512192500/http://www.thebookseller.com/news/49875-reportage-grows-its-list.html|archivedate=2009-05-12}}] They believe these books are newsworthy and want to publish books "that mainstream houses shun in favour of ghosted showbiz autobiographies and TV spin-offs".[{{cite news| url=http://uk.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUKL2648723120070626?pageNumber=1&virtualBrandChannel=0 | archive-url=https://archive.today/20120716091110/http://uk.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUKL2648723120070626?pageNumber=1&virtualBrandChannel=0 | url-status=dead | archive-date=16 July 2012 | work=Reuters | title=Flak jacket to dressing gown, a reporter's progress | date=2007-06-26}}]
At the beginning of 2008, Reportage was named as one of the 'New lists to watch' by ''[The Bookseller](/source/The_Bookseller)''.[[http://www.thebookseller.com/in-depth/feature/50748-new-year-new-lists-to-watch.html theBookseller.com]] All the titles published have received media coverage, something Eager and Whitehouse put down to "the newsworthy content, and their ability to get books out quickly."
