Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Career and Conversation of John Swinton: Journalist, Orator, Economist "Why don´t you try and give some account of the life of this remarkable man, John Swinton?" said a well-known publisher to the writer. "I? I am not a newspaper writer." "No, but you can do that quite as well as a newspaper writer. Why should your account be in the shape of a newspaper article? It might be a magazine article, or a short pamphlet - something one can read in an hour." "Oh, I have too much to do in my own line just now - I have no time for such a thing." "Well, if you don´t, nobody else will." "Why so? It might prove a remunerative piece of work, and probably one of his own confreres on the press will do it - and do it better than I can." "I don´t know about that. I don´t think so; and, besides, there is too much jealousy among the men of the press. They can write better about anybody else than about one of their own craft. No man, you know, is a prophet in his own household. Now, you knew him better than any journalist now alive, and might give an account of him that would show the man as he was."
