19821197<p><b>Apóstrofes: Revista de la Escuela de Periodismo Universidad Católica. Año I No. 1 May 1982–No. 3 Sept.-Oct. 1982 all published</b>. Santiago Chile: 1982. 8vo three issues: 23 pp. 25 pp. 21 pp.; side-stapled mimeograph with illus. wrappers b/w reproductions of orig. graphics including cartoons collage and photography light edge-wear and toning at extremities No. 2 toned front wrap with small crease.</p><p>When the left-wing Popular Unity party led by Salvador Allende came to power in 1970 they reached an agreement to undo previous limits on the freedom of the press in Chile. This brief period of pluralism was silenced by the Pinochet coup in 1973 which ushered in not only an era of censorship persecution and state-sponsored journalism but also a period in which opposition journalists were imprisoned tortured and "disappeared."</p><p>It is within this context that students at the Journalism School at Santiago's Catholic University began publishing this short-lived serial questioning the role and relevance of the professional journalist in Chile. Beginning as a general inquiry into the conditions of journalism and teaching the tone shifts rejecting university and national hierarchies and censorship. No. 3's headline "Renacer del Movimiento Estudiantil" declares the rebirth of the student movement following the arrest and torture of Marcela Palma secretary general of El Centro de Estudiantes de la Universidad Católica and sister of the leftist paramilitary Ricardo Palma. Articles report on colleagues in exile and the duty of the journalist to justice and critical thinking.</p><p>No copies found in OCLC or direct searches of Chilean national online catalogues.</p>
22703'40 rue Laffitte Paris September 29 1894.'. 1p 4to. On leaf of aged worn and creased cartridge paper. Addressed to 'A. T. Q. C. Care of The Editor of The Speaker 115 Fleet Street E.C. London.' An interesting letter touching on English and American journalistic practice 'sensational' copy plagiarism and fin-de-siècle Paris. The context is not entirely clear: one reading is that the recipient reported on or reproduced in the Fleet Street newspaper the Speaker one of Heilig's 'sensational letters to the American Sunday papers' only to have it 'cribbed' by Pearson's Weekly. Heilig begins: 'Dear Sir I was so amused to compare your own text with that of your robber's in a recent number of The Speaker enclosed. In the one case it was a stolen ruby or flute or piano or spade. In the present it is some stolen skeletons. My business of writing sensational letters to the American Sunday papers does not hold me to any crazy accuracy. The editors trust me they allow me to paint the lily.' He explains that 'In the Cabaret du Neant there are really no skeletons sitting about or at most one in miniature upon a shelf. I thought there ought to be skeletons sitting around so I put them in.' He explains that 'The "P. W. man" going towards the Montmartre hill in full Montmartre! saw these skeletons "lounging on benches" and some which stood about and snapped their jaws a frequent intervals.' He explains that another passage 'has no place in the patter of the show. I took it bodily from their first advertising sheet a journal called "La Mort".' He begins the final paragraph by explaining that he knows 'little of London and nothing of Pearson's Weekly' but that it has occurred to him that 'there may be something even yet more amusing behind their offers of twenty guineas etc.' He believes that 'one of the uses of these offers is to give the editors a screen behind which to protect themselves from even the appearance of evil. They can always say: "The thing was sent in to us. We regret it." Nevertheless I fancy the cribbing is done regularly in their own offices by paid clerks.'

1938674<p>Philadelphia: Macrae-Smith-Company 1938. First Edition. <br /><br />Octavo 8 1/4 x 5 3/4 inches; 210 x 145 mm 268 pages in yellow cloth with a pictorial dust jacket. <br /><br />An unusual book aimed at guys who want to go from copy boy to ace reporter.

Very entertaining; most journalists have known editors like Matt Hale. Illustrated with real newsroom and technical photographs of the day. SCARCE especially in dust jacket. <br /><br />CONDITION: Light toning to page edges heavier toning to paste downs but clean and unmarked. The pictorial dust jacket has several shallow chips and tears including a 1 1/2" tear with creasing to top edge of front panel affecting "O" in "COPY."

187045149London: s.i. 1870. Very Good. London: s.i. ca. 1870s. Small broadside flyer 20x13.5cm printed on laid paper. A few small closed tears at previous folds light soil and spotting else Very Good.<br /> <br /> Unrecorded broadside poking fun at the press and an England awash in the different newspapers that mushroomed throughout the middle of the 19th century--national local daily women's art science sports religious--and all providing wildly different takes on the same story. The handbill lists the opinions of twenty-two newspapers "upon the subject of the text which tells you that Jacob kissed Rachel and lifted up his voice and wept." The Daily Telegraph states "If Rachel was a pretty girl and kept her face clean we can't see what Jacob had to cry about" while the Jewish Chronicle surmises that "He wept for joy because it tasted so good" in direct contradiction with the British Standard which reports that "We reckon Jacob cried because Rachel had been eating onions." <br /> <br /> Not separately catalogued in OCLC or Library Hub as of August 2025. s.i. unknown
