Excerpt from The Story of a Page: Thirty Years of Public Service and Public Discussion in the Editorial Columns of the New York World Mr. Pulitzer's chief concern in the management of The World was the conduct of its editorial page. Details of business management never engaged his attention longer than was necessary. He was a great news editor, with a marvelous instinct for seizing upon what was vital in passing events; but neither did he devote to the presenta tion of the news his most earnest attention. His was the journalism of in uence, of advocacy, of direction. He recognized in public opinion the power in modern government, the builder of modern civilization. It was his ambition to voice public opinion. It was his duty, as he saw it, to inform public opinion, to oppose public opinion, and even patriotic impulse when he saw it to be in the wrong. To this duty he gave his con stant thought with a singleness of purpose intensified by infirmity. An examination of the conduct of the editorial page of The World for thirty years is a study of a stirring epoch. The public advocacy of The World has in many ways affected American history. At some points it has made history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
