Reporters and Reporting

Originally published in 1888 as part of a series of Pitman's shorthand textbooks, this volume offers an in-depth look at the technical and ethical dimensions of 19th-century journalism. Using numerous examples from contemporary newspapers and speeches, the book explores how shorthand can improve accuracy and efficiency in reporting while also raising important ethical issues. Journalists and historians will appreciate this insightful and engaging study of a forgotten art.
