FORMAT CHANGE

Besides the different colors and layout, I'm going to make a slight format change and eliminate the weekly digest in favor of a less-comprehensive, but more copiously illustrated, monthly digest.

BEFORE OUR HEADS WERE SWELLED

Once upon a time, journalists understood that they weren't ncessarily more important than the news they covered. Consider Henry Hamilton Fyfe (1869-1951), the leading British correspondent of World War I, who wrote for Alfred Harmsworth's Daily Mirror. He even turned down a knighthood, considering it a bribe to keep him from writing about the inefficiency and corruption he'd witnessed during the war.


I love this response he sent to an autograph-seeker: "I am afraid you have mistaken me for a 'celebrity.' I am only a hard-working journalist." Hear, hear!

NEWSPAPER-RELATED CIGAR LABELS

This brand of cigar was named for William Cullen Bryant (1794-1878), owner/ editor of the New York Evening Post from 1829 to 1878. The other is named for the Los Angeles Herald, which published from 1873 to 1962, before merging with the Examiner to form the Herald-Examiner. That paper folded in 1989.

WEEKLY HISTORY DIGEST, Jan. 6-12

This week in history, from the Eric Fettmann Collection:

LONDON GAZETTE, Jan. 11, 1682:

GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, Jan. 1738:
"The Liberty of the Press: The continual attempts by a Set of mercenary Wretches to destroy, or undermine it, make some farther Observations necessary at this Time. -- They not only assert, that the Press stands in Need of some IMMEDIATE CHECK; but that the Liberty of it ought not to be reckon'd amongst the Rights and Privileges of Englishmen ... At present, I shall only recommend an excellent little Tract, lately publish'd upon this Subject, to the Notice of the World; I mean, The [1725] Tryal of JOHN PETER ZENGER, of New-York, PRINTER &c. -- This poor Man was charged with printing and publishing a false, scandalous, and seditious Libel, against the Governor and Administration of that Province; intitled the NEW-YORK WEEKLY JOURNAL, and having been harass'd in an extra- judicial and arbitrary Manner, by some Persons in Power there, was at last brought upon His Tryal ... But he had the Happiness to be try'd by so honest a Jury, and was so gloriously defended by his Counsel, Mr Hamilton ... that he was acquitted in the most honourable Manner ... [the Jury] took but little Time to consider of their Verdict and brought in Mr Zenger NOT GUILTY; upon which there were three great Huzzas in the Hall, by a crouded Audience. ..."

GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, Jan. 1774:
"Boston: ... behold what followed! a number of resolute men (dressed like Mohawks or Indians) determined to do all in their power to save their country from the ruin which their enemies had plotted, in less than four hours emptied every chest of Tea on board the three ships commanded by the Captains Hall, Bruce and Coffin, into the sea! without the least damage done to the ships, or any other property ... the people are almost universally congratulating each other on this happy event ..." (account of the Boston Tea Party)

NEW-YORK MAGAZINE, Jan. 1793:
"Phila.: Yesterday morning, Mr. Blanchard made his forty-fifth ascension from the prison court in the aerial regions ... His excellency, the president of the united states took off his hat and saluted the aeronaut ..." (first U.S. balloon flight)

NEW-YORK EVENING POST, Jan. 10, 1818:
"... We are assured in a manner that leaves no doubt of the correctness of the fact that the personal friends of (Vice President Daniel Tompkins) have lately stepped forward in a very handsome manner and furnished him with loans that have put him entirely at ease in his circumstances ..."

"Among our advertisements will be found one offering a reward for the detection of some low-bred rascals who make a practice of ruining the elegant and costly walking dresses of ladies as they pass the public streets.

HARPER'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE, Jan. 1867:
"... There is probably no great city in any country of the world so utterly destitute of true patriotic pride and a fine sense of national honor as the city of New York. It is due, of course, chiefly to the fact that its population is so largely foreign and ignorant ..."

NEW YORK TRIBUNE, Jan. 7, 1868:
"A vote of censure on acting President Johnson for removing Sheridan (was taken yesterday), considerable time was wasted in calling the Yeas and Nays ..."

GALAXY, Jan. 1871:
"Memoranda, by Mark Twain: `... the article they are praising [which appeared in the December Galaxy and which pretended to be a criticism from the London Saturday Review on my "Innocents Abroad"] was written by myself -- every line of it ... I stand guilty of the authorship of the article, but I did not mean any harm ... If any man doubts my word now, I will kill him. No, I will not kill him, I will win his money.

[sic] Gandhi, whose popularity and influence are greater than even those of the late B.G. Tilak.
