[Percy Linaker, journalist, editor of the Oxford Chronicle.] Offprint of article ‘A Journalist’s Ideals’.

A scarce item, no other copy discovered on ViaLibri, WorldCat or JISC LHD. 4pp, 12mo. Paginated bifolium in small print. Aged and worn, with short closed tear in gutter. Folded twice. A discussion of the ‘image of an ideal newspaper’, and of the ‘ideals about professional training, status, work, and reward’ in the journalistic profession, with sideswipes at the ‘New Journalism’ and ‘those unwieldy amorphous weekly budgets which flourish in America, and which contain everything from the instalment of a novel to a recipe for chipped potatoes, and from a resume of last Sunday’s sermons to the portrait of the latest fashionable beauty’. From the papers of J. Cuming Walters, editor of the Manchester City News, who has indicated in pencil passages he finds significant.
