REPORTING FOR PAPERS.
Advice to a Young Man Thirsting fol
Literary Glory.

Advice to a Young Man ThIrsting for
Literary Glory.
One Of the greatest essentials OF sue
cess for reporter on a city paper is
thorough knowledge of the city and
general acquaintance with the citizens.
Men of ordinary ability who possess
extended knowledge Of points for gath
ering news and a familiarity with
noted local characters, are often of
more value to newspaper than men
capable OF writing brilliant and highly
polished articles, who are comparative
strangers in the locality. A reporter
must get all the news. II acquainted
with every thing and every body in
town, he gathers his items and writes
them up in a crude manner, perhaps.
but they contain the one point Of news
wanted and the city editor revises the
item to suit his fancy. Under these
circumstances a young man from the
country, unused to the atmosphere and
surroundings OF a city life, has very
small chances Of becoming reporter
on city newspaper, and if he should,
his limited acquaintance would prove
drawback which it would take years
to overcome. The only exceptions to
| this are the large metropolitan daily
newspapers, where the work is as
signed. There, each day, the city
editor makes out an assignment book,
containing a memoranda of all the
principal events OF that particular day.
Opposite the various notes of events
are placed the names of reporters de
tailed to look after them. Each
reporter signs his name opposite the
detail to denote that he has gone in
search of the item. After securing
the news in his assignment the
reporter returns to the Office and writes
it up after which it is handed TO the
city editor, who generally culls all
superauous words and attempts at
padding" leaving only the bare skel-
eton Of the article, so condensed that
it tells in terse form the exact points
of the news. The reporter is paid by
"space work'-that is, so much a col
umn-hence the cutting down of his
article. There have been instances
where young men from the country,
possessing talent and newspaper abil-
ity, have been very successful on me-
tropolitan papers, without an extended
knowledge of the city, but they are
rare; and of the thousands of weary re-
porters writing against space on the
New York dailies, only favored few
make more than miserable existence,
earning scarcely enough to keep them
alive. At best. reporters billet is an
unenviable one; and il you have q
talent for any other calling, it would
be we'll to cultivate it, as the chances
of success in the literary field are all
against you. and even after you have
gained the top round of the ladder,
you will find that you have struggled
in vain and are bound for life to a call
ing which requires harder work. Ion
ger hours, more anxiety and unceas-
ing trouble, for less remuneration tinan-
cially and less satisfaction over per-
sonal efforts. than any other profession
you could follow. If you are deter
mined to leave the country and be-
come identified with life in the city,
turn your attention to commercial pur-
suits and let newspapers alone. Toledo
