Title: The Paris edition
Description: Root provides a personal anecdotal glimpse of American journalism in Paris in the late 1920s and early 30s, when the Paris Edition of the Chicago Tribune was one of the three U.S.- owned English-language newspapers being published there. Root arrived in Paris in 1927, found a spot at the paper and stayed. Eventually he joined the United Press and became the dean of the Parisian foreign press corps. Root captures the mood of Paris and the excitement of the expatriate press. Samuel Abt, as editor, provides a useful detailed introduction.
