Book excerpt: Excerpt from Newspaper Reporting and Correspondence: A Manual for Reporters, Correspondents, and Students of Newspaper Writing The purpose of this book is to instruct the pros pective newspaper reporter in the way to write those stories which his future paper will call upon him to write, and to help the young cub reporter and the struggling correspondent past the perils of the copy reader's pencil by telling them how to write clean copy that requires a minimum of editing. It is not concerned with the why of the newspaper business - the editor may attend to that - but with the how of the reporter's work. And an ability to write is believed to be the reporter's chief asset. There is no space in this book to dilate upon newspaper or ganization, the work of the business office, the writ ing of advertisements, the principles of editorial writing, or the how and why of newspaper policy and practice, as it is. These things do not concern the reporter during the first few months of his work, and he will learn them from experience when he needs them. Until then, his usefulness depends solely upon his ability to get news and to write it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
