The man who owns newspaper. the
man who writes for newspapers, and the
man who reads newspapers, will each
alike find the news paper discussed from
his point of view in the August number
of The Formu." There has, perhaps,
never before been published IN so
prominent way the inside facts about
the life and work ofsnewspaper writers as
are set forth by j. w. Keller, President
of the New York Press Club. Every
man who wishes to enter Journalism
ought TO read this account of the actual
experience that a-=aits him. G. R.
Miller, the editor of the New York
Times, points out the uureasonabIeness of
much of the current criticism of the
press, and shows what great service it
really does. John Gilmer Speed, by
series Of tables, shows how the propor-
ton Of gossip has been widely increased
in late years. especially in the New York
newspapers. and the proportion of i'm
portant news decreased, and he asks if
the newspapers do now really give the
news. These articles present an inside
view of journalism with a frankness and
fullness that is perhaps unprecedented.
