Book Description
Excerpt from Some Great American Newspaper Editors As a supplement to the previous bibliography, Masters of American Journalism, this bibliography lists material con cerning other representative journalists in America. The editors chosen were active in various fields. Carl Schurz, the patriot and orator, and Whitelaw Reid, the diplomat, are widely known in other than the editorial field. Henry Grady was both orator and editor, while George W. Childs gained a reputation as a philanthropist in the field of journalism. Nathan Hale and Thurlow Weed confined their efforts mainly to journalism, although the latter was prominent as a poli ticlan in his day. Samuel Bowles is perhaps the most representative of all as an editor and was chosen by Colonel Harvey in his Bromley Lecture at Yale University as one example of a master journalist. Since the material available on most of these editors is small, there has been little exclusion except in the case of Schurz and Reid, where some attempt at selection has been made.

The Evening Post

ISBN: 9781331252351
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 608
Book Description
Excerpt from The Evening Post: A Century of Journalism This volume took its origin in the writer's belief that a history of the Evening Post would be interesting not merely as that of one of the world's greatest newspapers, but as throwing light on the whole course of metropolitan journalism in America since 1800, and upon some important parts of local and national history. In a book of this kind it is necessary to steer between Scylla and Charybdis. If the volume were confined to mere office-history, it would interest few; while a review of all the newspaper's editorial opinions and all the interesting news it has printed would be a review of the greater part of what has happened in the nineteenth century and since. The problem has been to avoid narrowness on the one hand, padding on the other. The author has tried to select the most important, interesting, and illuminating aspects and episodes of the newspaper's history, and to treat them with a careful regard for perspective. The decision to include no footnote references to authorities in a volume of this character probably requires no defense. In a great majority of instances the text itself indicates the authority. When an utterance of the Evening Post on the Dred Scott decision is quoted, it would assuredly be impertinent to quote the exact date. The author wishes to say that he has been at pains to ascribe no bit of writing to a particular editor without making sure that be actually wrote it. When he names Bryant as the writer of a certain passage, he does so on the authority of the Bryant papers, or the Parke Godwin papers, or one of the lives of Bryant, or of indisputable internal evidence. After 1881 a careful record of the writers of the most important Evening Post editorials was kept in the files of the Nation.

Book Description
Excerpt from Journalism: Its Relation to and Influence Upon the Political, Social, Professional, Financial, and Commercial Life of the United States of America Can it not also be said that journalism is on a higher plane than formerly? It has passed the age of individualism which marked the earlier development of the newspaper. The best examples of news papers today are remarkable for their impersonality. They are based on motives of seeking the greatest good for the greatest number. The days have passed when one or two men can make a newspaper. It is not the editor who is the chief of journalism today. It is the reporter. He is the real journalist.

The Newspaper

Book Description
'The Newspaper' is an essay discussing the merits of newspapers as a publication format. To this, the author begins his argument as to why it is important to evaluate its merits through the following passage: "So common an object as a newspaper is seldom the subject of serious reflection. If any one of us should stop to consider what it is and why it is made, it is odds that he would think chiefly of one aspect of it to the general exclusion of the others. The curious man might reflect in surprise on the vast amount of mere reading matter turned out regularly every morning with perhaps only half a dozen literal mistakes, on the variety of typesetting and the amount of printing, often more than sufficient to make a large sized book. The manufacturer would direct his imagination to the efficient machinery necessary to produce perhaps 3,000 copies a minute or to the practiced organization, able to distribute them, as fast as they are printed. The businessman would think chiefly of a newspaper, as a vehicle for prices and a medium for advertising. Cooks, butlers, clerks and governesses look upon it as a daily registry office. The solicitor sells houses and lands through it. Housewives through it sometimes buy their soaps and more often their hats. Actors, singers, authors, artists and musicians each read their special column and wonder when the editor intends to engage someone really acquainted with the only subject worth reading. The politician will read its leading articles with smirking assent or explosive repudiation. Last of all comes the general reader and he asks nothing more of his newspaper than all the news of everywhere, collected at great cost, transcribed with finished skill and presented to him in just the way which pleases and flatters him most. All of them have on their lips the daily threat of giving up the paper, if they are not scrupulously satisfied."

Book Description
Excerpt from N. W. Ayer and Son's American Newspaper Annual, 1880: Containing a Catalogue of American Newspapers, a Carefully Prepared List of All Newspapers and Periodicals Published in the United States, Territories and Dominion of Canada Owing to the magnitude of the work to be done, the information was solicited and to a great extent obtained during March and April, but the work of revision has gone on steadily ever since. The entire country has been canvassed in the interim, hundreds of personal letters written, and every endeavor made to bring the information down to the latest moment and the result of this untiring labor is that the book represents the condition of the Newspaper Press of the country as it stands to - day; and a careful examination of its contents will verify the assertion. It is not perfect: no work of the kind can be; but we have spared neither labor nor expense to make it more nearly so than any other Newspaper Directory published. As the work contains some features not to be found in any similar publication, a few words of explanation may not be out of place.
