Allow me to direct you to a book written and edited by Steve Broening and Fred Hill: “The Life of Kings: The Baltimore Sun and the Golden Age of the American Newspaper.” Broening is a former AP foreign correspondent, the the first op/ed editor and later diplomatic correspondent for the Sun. Hill was the bureau chief in London and Paris for the Sun when it had some dozen foreign bureaus.
The title of the book takes its name from a remark made by H. L. Mencken (“the sage of Baltimore “) who worked for the Sun for many years. The book is a collection of essays by many former Sun reporters at a time when newspapers were so deeply important in American society and culture.
Great writing Charlie, brings the old newsrooms and printing presses right back into focus so effectively in a lovely sensory way.
This makes so much sense '...digital channels are more designed for speed and frequency, whereas print on paper is better suited for attention and memorability. Stroud pointed to neuroscientific research, including studies from Temple University, saying, “Print consistently outperforms digital in recall, trust and response rates.”'
Good to know that papers like MVT are still at it despite the challenges.
And nice to see my former student, award-winning journalist Andrew Deck featured in your lineup of reads this week :)
