So It Seemed

William L. Chenery

4.9/5 (32567 ratings)

Description:The front-row seats for the excitements of our changing world have gone in the past fifty years to newspaper men and the editors of great magazines. No one has made better use of both these privileged postions than William L. Chenery. In this book he reports on the drama-personal, national, and international-of half a century.Born in the quiet world of Caroline County, Virginia, and educated at Randolph-Macon College, he quickly plunged into the maelstrom of Chicago journalism in the days when Sherwood Anderson, Carl Sandburg, Francis Hackett, Harriet Monroe, Floyd Dell, and Lloyd Lewis were making the Windy City the center if a literary renaissance. But Chigaco was pale compared to Chenery's next assignment: editor of the Rocky Mountain News in the boisterous city of Denver. His cheif competitor was the Post, run by Tammen abd Bonfils. This was the time of the historic coal strikes, and an editorial entitled "The Massacre of the Innocents" won Chenery national fame and enemies who threatened his life.The first World War took him to Washington and then to Paris as a member of Wilson's Committee on Public Information. Later as editor of the Globe he saw Frank Munsey bewilderedly making havoc of the newspapers of New York. The next turn of the editorship of Collier's, a post he held for eighteen years, to be followed by seven years more as that magazine's publisher. In this times Collier's spearheaded the fight against Prohibition and under him became in fact "the national weekly." Of all this he writes with humor and understanding, unobtrusively tracing the course taken by our civilzation through a crisis in history.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
