Sinopsis
Excerpt from My Private Note-Book, or Recollections of an Old Reporter
The duties of the Reporter are easily defined. His chief care, if he belongs to the dismounted, is to collect full particulars of the striking incidents of the day, and to present them -in such a form as will en sure common insertion in the morning journals, and a sufficient pecuniary return to himself. This brief de scription of a class will suffice. The regular report has higher aims, for which he requires higher educational qualifications. His greatest value is, perhaps, centred in his ability to report the parliamentary debates in scholarly style, and with scrupulous accuracy? [i have gone through more than a quarter of a century of this life of hard, inadequately paid labour, and speak feel ingly on the subject. The very few prizes that the press Ofi°ers to its members, are not for the reporter, whether regular or dismounted, and when his cvertasked energies are exhausted by time or sickness - if all his re sources are confined to the press, his fate is lamentable indeed. I could write a painful chapter on this theme but this is not the medium through which'public sym~ pathy can be best enlisted.
