> The efforts of the Office of Censorship to balance the protection of sensitive war related information with the constitutional freedoms of the press is considered largely successful.[2] The agency's implementation of censorship was done primarily through a voluntary regulatory code that was willingly adopted by the press.[3] The phrase "loose lips sink ships" was popularized during World War II, which is a testament to the urgency Americans felt to protect information relating to the war effort.[3] Radio broadcasts, newspapers, and newsreels were the primary ways Americans received their information about World War II and therefore were the medium most affected by the Office of Censorship code.[4] The closure of the Office of Censorship in November 1945 corresponded with the ending of World War II.
America is pretty great.
