Description
Excerpt from Pitman''s Practical Journalism: An Introduction to Every Description of Literary Effort in Association With Newspaper Production
The guidance in the practice of English Journalism given in this volume is designed mainly for those who are about to take up newspaper work, or who are already filling junior positions on the Press. It is hoped that many who are beginning their journalistic career may derive advantage from the experience and advice of an old hand.
But the scope of the book is by no means limited to an attempt to initiate the tyro in the work usually entrusted to beginners. The duties of every class of journalist - from the junior reporter to the editor - are in turn described; and information is offered on the work of each member of the newspaper staff, from the lowest to the highest.
While conciseness has been aimed at, the importance of furnishing complete practical guidance has been kept steadily in view. It is hoped, therefore, that the volume may prove serviceable to a large number of newspaper men, in addition to those for whom it is primarily intended. The working journalist will, it is believed, find that much useful matter on newspaper enterprise is contained in this book, which has not been hitherto readily accessible while the addition of an index renders it easy of consultation on any desired point, either of journalistic practice or of newspaper law.
