Excerpt from The Editorial: A Study in Effectiveness of Writing
In order to invite consideration of the editorial in all its aspects this book contains a brief historical sketch, as well as chapters on typography and on editorial responsibility; but the controlling purpose of the discussion has been to achieve practical helpfulness for the editorial writer, or the student, who really tries to carry his message beyond the threshold of his reader's mind, rather than leaving it on the doorstep.
Both the country editor who is trying to climb the ladder of editorial effectiveness, with hands full of distracting duties in the news, advertising, circulation and printing departments of his paper, and the metropolitan editor who struggles upward, arms bulging with original documents, reference books, and conflicting news reports, would get along better if they took pains to observe the ladder. It behoves ladder climbers to dispense with hobbles and blinders.
This book deals with the ladder. Both the veteran, on the rung near the top, and the college youth, placing a tentative foot on the lowest crosspiece, need to know what they are about. Anything that is worth doing at all - particularly an art such as editorial writing - is worth a preliminary examination as to its purposes, possibilities and methods.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the development of the editorial column, focusing on how it has transformed from being a vehicle for news analysis to a crucial influencer of public opinion in the decades since the end of World War 1. The author discusses the rise of the "golden age of the editorial" in the 19th century with the emergence of journalistic giants such as Greeley and Dana, who wielded unparalleled influence through their incisive and often personalized editorials. However, the rise of yellow journalism at the end of the century, with its focus on sensationalism and lurid stories, led to a decline in the influence of the editorial page. In the present day, editorials are often tasked with fulfilling diverse functions, ranging from moralizing and educating the public to highlighting ethical dilemmas, and occasionally providing entertainment. The author argues that while the editorial page may not carry the same weight it once did, it remains an essential element of a well-rounded and vibrant press, and can have a significant impact on shaping public discourse and fostering critical thinking. The author provides a rich historical context for understanding the evolution of the editorial and its enduring importance.
