Description

From the Introduction. THIS book is not, and does not claim to be, a cyclopedia of journalism. Nor does it pretend to be a guide to newspaper work. There are several reasons why the author refuses to attempt to tell the reader how he may become a journalist or newspaper writer, or how he may do better work if he is already a member of the craft. Nowhere in this book will be found definite rules or regulations, which would be of no use to the intelligent reader, and which would not be understood by the ignorant one. Journalism cannot be taught by book or lesson. It is not like the concrete arts of book-keeping, stenography, typewriting, and a few others, a knowledge of which may be imparted by book or pen. Instead of attempting to teach, the author has given facts and information, which he hopes will be of benefit, not only to journalists in general, but of special moment to those who would enter what he considers Progression's Greatest Vocation. The author has presented both the professional and commercial aspects of the newspaper business, and has dwelt at length upon the latter, because it is obvious that the financial or remunerative side is of vital consequence, and will be, so long as comparatively few can afford to devote their time to any vocation which does not offer them a livelihood. The author has not allowed his own personal experience as a journalist to bias the advice and suggestions which he has attempted to present. He has endeavored to present honestly, conscientiously, vividly, and plainly both sides of the journalistic shield,- the strong and the weak side of it,- as well as typographically to paint technical and professional pictures. He offers this book as a series of moving pictures of newspaper life, taken by the unprejudiced camera; and he has attempted to print from uncolored and unchanged negatives, as well as to present optimistic affirmatives.
