What News Is.

A new book is news This might almost be set
down automatic and not proposition needing
formal demonstration by the Eucidean process
Yet it is susceptible of such demonstration and we
shall demonstrate accordingly.
In the strict sense anything that happens is
news EVERYBODY remembers the old distinction
that if dog bites il is very likely not news
but that If a man bites dog it is news beyond all
cavil Such generalization is useful and fairly
harmless like the generalization we ourselves have
just INDUCED in and are about prOving) ia big
if-the broad exception he noted.
If dog bites JONI ID. ROCKEFELLER, .JR., it is
not only news, but rather more important, or Ger
tainly more interesting, news than if JOHN JONES
of HowlerSville bites dog. For the chances are
that JOHN JOINS of lIowlcrsville is poor, dement,
ed creature. after all Now the dog that bites Mr.
ROCKEFELLER is very likely poor, demcnted crea-
ture, too but the distinction lies in this: the dog
bitten by john JONES is almost certainly not
well known or as interesting important in the
lives of number of people as Mr.. ROCKEFELLER.
Pair off the cur that puts his teeth in the Rookie
TELLER ankle, if you like, with the wretch who puts
his teeth in an innocent canine bystander OTIS the
innocent byStander who always gets hurt You
still have 10 match up the hound of HowlerSve
with Mr.. ROCKEFELLER. And the scale of news
values tips heavily away from HowlcrSville and in
the direction of &c Broadway.
The Specific Interest"
SO it is plain that not all that happens is news
compared with some that happens. The law of
specific interest, intellectual counterpart of the
law of specific gravity in the physical world rules
in the world of events. Any one handling news
who dsrcgards this law does at his extreme peril,
Just as any one building a ship heavier than the
water it diSplaces may reasonably expect TO see his
fine craft sink without a trace.
Since new book is thing happening it is news,
subject to the broad correction we have been dis
cusSing above. namely, that in comparison with
other new books it may not be news at ALL its
specific interest may be slight as to be negligible
entirely
But if particular new book IS news, if its spc-
ci6c interest is moderately great then obviously,
think the person best fitted TO deal with il is per-
son trained to deal with news, namely, reporter.
Naturally we all prefer good reporter.
The question will at once he raised: How is the
specific interest of book TO be dctrrmincdi
We answer: Just the specific interest of any
other potential news actual news is determined
in competition with the other news of the day and
hour What is news day isn't news another.
