Excerpt from Men, Cities and Events
To the manner born, although I count among my friends several indisputable poets who have earned journalistic fame as contributors to the daily Press. To the compounding of an efficient journalist all sorts of ingredients are indispensable. In almost every other career, success may be secured by thorough proficiency in one special class or branch of knowledge. Not so in journalism, which exacts from its practitioners a fair average acquaintance with an unlimited number of subjects, and a capacity for dealing with them intelligently and readably at a moment's notice. The value of a jour malist to his employers is enhanced, to a certain extent, by his unquestionable mastery of any particular subject. If, however, he be nothing more than a specialist, the sphere of his utility is necessarily circumscribed. To be really use ful he must be versatile, or what the Germans aptly term many-sided, and the versatility which characterises Press-men of the first flight is acquired by many several preparatory processes, some of which are undergone labor.
