READ ALL ABOUT IT!A Day In The Life Of A Metropolitan NewspaperJanet T. HarriganHarrigan, who teaches journalism at the University of New Hampshire, chronicles the events of one random day June 4, 1986 at the Boston Globe, in a book that should be required reading for journalism students.
The author follows activities from 6 a.m. to midnight, moves from the publisher's office and advertising department to reporters (including foreign correspondents) covering stories, then to the copy desk, composing room, pressroom and distribution of the newspaper.
Harrigan demonstrates an impressive familiarity with every job, even discusses interdepartmental frictions; her enthusiasm for newspaper work and those who perform it is infectious.
298 pages of great reading with pictures!
My late father had collected many fine books - this is one from his estate. He often clipped newspaper articles about books in his collection or their authors, and kept them in the book. Some are included in this book.
