In his preface to this 1917 guide to gathering, handling, and writing news stories, the author notes that the purpose of his work is to give aspiring reporters practical guidance for their duties and performance as journalists. Spencer’s book is interesting from an historical point of view, but it also provides close analyses of all types of stories—analysis that could be applicable to any good news reporting today.
