IT WAS LATE IN THE 1860’s AND EARLY 1870's that something began happening to the “Gentlemen of the Press.” Up to that time, a newspaper man was a person of literary attainments whose job was simply to report the news. But James Gordon Bennett, publisher of the New York Herald, ordained otherwise. He sent John Rowlands, better known as Sir Henry Morton Stanley, to search for David Livingstone, who was lost in Africa.
That started it—and from that point on, reporters became explorers, pioneers, detectives, and anything but what they might have been taught in a school of journalism.
Came the “Roaring Twenties,” with reporters tough and unafraid—wisecracking news hounds—starting the era of Winchells, Sobols and Sullivans! It brought the tabloid with its scandal and muck and it brought on the courage of the PRESS to rip out and bring before the citizens the rottenness and larceny of politicians high in office.
Then, in 1937, CBS brought a new kind of newspaper to listeners from coast to coast: the ILLUSTRATED PRESS, with Edward G. Robinson as the two-fisted, hard-hitting editor.
