Other editions of book Journalism for Women: A Practical Guide

This book is an illustrated version of the original Journalism for Women, A Practical Guide by E.A. Bennett.How to create interest where interest is not? Alas, no dissertation and no teacher can answer the question. As in other arts, so in journalism, the high essentials may not be inculcated. It is the mere technique which is imparted. By a curious paradox, the student is taught, of art, only what he already knows. Anyone can learn to write, and to write well, in any given style; but to see, to discern the interestingness which is veiled from the crowd--that comes not by tuition; rather by intuition.The best treatise on art can only hope:1.To indicate the lines of study and training which should be pursued in order to acquire the measure of mechanical accomplishment necessary to the right using of the artistic faculty.2.If the artistic faculty exists but is dormant, to awaken it by means of suggestion; and having awakened it, to show how it may be properly excited to the fullest activity of which it is capable.This book is an attempt to do these things, for women, in the art of journalism.

Arnold Bennett (1867-1931) was a British writer. He went to work for his father but was unhappy working for his father and earning very little money. The theme of parental miserliness occurs in his works. At 21 he went to London to clerk for a solicitor. He then began working for a magazine called Women. When he noticed the poor material being submitted he began writing a serial for the periodical. He won a literary competition in Tit Bits magazine in 1889 and was encouraged to take up journalism full time. Bennett covers the following topics in Journalism for Women - The Secret Significance of Journalism, Imperfections of the existing Woman-Journalist, The Roads towards Journalism, The Aspirant, Style, The Outside Contributor, The Search for Copy, The Art of Corresponding with an Editor, Notes on the Leading Types of Papers, and "Woman's Sphere" in Journalism.
