Excerpt from The Making of a JournalistBy drawing from twenty-five years of the most active experience in the newspaper business in America and Europe, varied by magazine work in the lines of travel and descriptive work - which is closer than a cousinship to newspaper work I am going to tell what I know upon the subject. I will give the advice which I believe to be best for those who wish to enjoy and snfier the good and trying phases of this field of endeavor. It has its grind, and that shall appear here. It has its dash and danger, its spice and glow, and these shall be described for all that they amount to. It has its honors and prizes, it carries with it importance to some who should stick to it and drudgery to others who should leave it and this I will explain. And through all that follows the reader shall have incident, example, illus tration, and story to clarify and illuminate the text.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
