Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Typical Newspaper Stories The compiler believes that many of these stories reach the stature of real literature. He does not offer all of them, however, as perfect specimens of newspaper writing; but it is believed that their merits considerably outweigh obvious faults. Unfortunately, some of the tales gathered here belong to fame's little day. They are all but forgotten, along with the names of the reporters who wrote them. The editor has succeeded, however, in attaching a line of author's credit to all but a few of the excerpts printed. The purpose of the book is to present typical newspaper stories that may serve as instructive guides to students of journalism. It offers in permanent form illustrative material found only at the expense of much time and labor. The compilation is designed to take the place of scrapbooks and unwieldy cardboards used for the preservation of clippings assigned by teachers for collateral read ing. In the present form a greater number of students may avail themselves of carefully chosen newspaper stories of continuing worth. It is thought, moreover, that this volume of stories will make interesting reading for newspaper men in the game and prove stimulating to ambitious young people eager to write for publication.
