More From Harold Evans

What a newspaper needs in its news, in its headlines, and on its editorial page is terseness, humor, descriptive power, satire, originality, good literary style, clever condensation and accuracy, accuracy, accuracy.
Clever Style Needs
During the second war, the u.s.o. sent special issues of the principal american magazines to the armed forces, with the ads omitted. the men insisted on having the ads back again. naturally. the ads are by far the best part of any magazine or newspaper. more pains and thought, more wit and art go into the making of an ad than into any prose feature of press or magazine. ads are news. what is wrong with them is that they are always good news.

I just don't need cable news. there's nothing that happens on cable news that i don't already know. i'm talking about just the acquisition of information, learning things. what is on cable tv is not that. cable news isn't news. what is happening on cable news right now is a political assassination of not just donald trump, but of ideas and cultural mores that i believe in.

It is much, much worse to receive bad news through the written word than by somebody simply telling you, and i’m sure you understand why. when somebody simply tells you bad news, you hear it once, and that’s the end of it. but when bad news is written down, whether in a letter or a newspaper or on your arm in felt tip pen, each time you read it, you feel as if you are receiving the bad news again and again.
Receiving News Letters
We must be forewarned that only rarely does a text easily lend itself to the reader's curiosity... the reading of a text is a transaction between the reader and the text, which mediates the encounter between the reader and writer. it is a composition between the reader and the writer in which the reader "rewrites" the text making a determined effort not to betray the author's spirit.

Being a reader is sort of like being president, except reading involves fewer state dinners, usually. you have this agenda you want to get through, but you get distracted by life events, e.g., books arriving in the mail/world war iii, and you are temporarily deflected from your chosen path.

We are the children of a technological age. we have found streamlined ways of doing much of our routine work. printing is no longer the only way of reproducing books. reading them, however, has not changed.
