PREFACE The years have multiplied the problems of American newspaper management and placed a growing premium upon its basic soundness. Lately there has been a marked acceleration in both directions with new problems and with a still greater need for sound management. This was particularly true after the onset of the depression in the United States. Some newspapermen even were not fully aware of all that transpired, or, if they knew what had occurred, they were some times at a loss to account for it or to understand it. It is not strange that the layman should lack an appreciation of the importance of the business side of publishing or an understand ing of its problems. Indeed, to the lay mind, journalism invari ably means only the editorial side of publishing. Many readers, in fact, have too limited a conception of even the editorial department. As a rule, the business aspects of publishing are beyond their ken, except in a vague and general way.

Unless otherwise indicated, the author must be responsible for such opinions and conclusions as are expressed, as well as for any errors or misstatements. No book of this sort would be possible without advice and help from many sources. Grateful acknowledgment is therefore made here to Mr. Robert E. Segal, associate publisher, the Chillicothe, Ohio, Scioto Gazette to Mr. Paul Bellamy, editor, Cleveland Plain Dealer to Mr. Charles H. Phinney, formerly composing room superintendent, Boston Transcript to Mr. O. C. Harn, managing director, Audit Bureau of Circulations to Mr. Nelson P. Poynter, former editor and publisher, Columbus Citizen to Mr.John F. Meyer, of the Inland Daily Press Association to Professor Jacob B.
