A Journalist's Note-Book

A series of humorous and candid essays by a working journalist that examine the customs, personalities, and practical workings of the press. The writer contrasts past and present editorial practices, sketches types—proprietors, editors, sub-editors, and reporters—and recounts anecdotes about newsroom habits, reporting fields, and the social life that intersects with journalism. Observations touch on reading and criticism, the imagination in reportage, sporting and vegetarian subcultures, and Ireland and travel as reporting grounds. The collection blends memoir, professional reflection, and wry social commentary.
