JOURNALISM: THE PROFESSION So It Is In 1946 Stuart Pratt Gives Recital At College Stuart Pratt, head of the Meredith piano department, played a piano recital in the College Auditorium on Tuesday evening, April 2, 1946 at 8:00 p.m. His program was as fol lows: Sheep May Safely Graze (from the “Birthday Cantata”) Bach-Petri Sonata, Op. 78 Beethoven Adagio cantabile Allegro ma non troppo Allegro vivace Variations on the Bach Theme, “Weinen, K 1 a g e n, Sorgen, Zagen” Liszt Intermission Twenty-four Preludes, Op. 28 Chopin Editor’s Note: (We are reprinting from the Collegiate Press Review an ar- | tide written by the late Glenn; Frank, former president of the i University of Wisconsin, which is as timely now as when it was written some 20 years ago.) | Every year thousands of young; Americans toy with the idea of trying their fortunes in journal ism as a career. I want to devote this essay to talking to these young men and young women about journalism J as a possible career. I have had | at least a limited experience in both the amateur journalism of | college days and the professional | journalism of after-college days. Out of my experience as an i amateur journalist, I can tell you that it is not wise to tamper with journalism in your youth unless you want it to haunt you for the j rest of your days. The smell of printer’s ink is seductive. There is a drug-like something about journalism. It is habit-forming. Once the siren clatter of type-! writer and printing press has sounded in your ears, you will not be happy until you have dis covered by experience that you can or cannot find a satisfactory career in journalism. No words of mine can ade quately describe the durable satisfaction that journalism brings to the man who is fitted for it by talent and training. Journalism is a sort of secular priesthood in which man may deal directly with the mind and spirit of his time. Don’t allow anyone to con vince you that journalism must be cheap or a shoddy thing be cause it deals with the hasty hap penings of the day. Don’t fall into the shallow snobbery that the man of letters sometimes dis plays toward the man of jour nalism. Journalism is not cheap and shoddy save in the hands of cheap and shoddy journalists. To the job of reporting for the yellowest press you can bring the scholar’s culture, the scien tists’s accuracy, the poet’s beau ty, provided only that you achieve a writing technique that makes what you write clear, and simple, and intelligible to the man in the street. And making things intelligible to the man in the street does not mean writing down to him, it means becom ing a better writer. There is nothing shoddy about making intelligence intelligible. Much that passes for deep thought is only muddy writing. There is no reason why culture should speak a private language that only the initiated can un derstand. There is no reason why accuracy should be unreadable. There is no reason why beauty should speak a foreign tongue. The more you can bring to jour nalism, the better, provided you meet journalism’s challenge to simplicity and clearness. If you rise above the ranks in journalism, you will find your self in the most fascinating, the most challenging, the most va ried, the most satisfying career that modern life has to offer. If you stay forever in the ranks of the routineers of jour nalism, you will exert a more effective influence upon the life of your time than any other routineer in any other profes sion. When you stop to think how many people never read be yond the headlines and how much public opinion is made by the headlines, you begin to rea lize the enormous influence ex erted by the man who writes headlines. When you stop to think how many people never read anything save their daily paper, you begin to realize the national importance of accurate reporting. With my eyes fully open to the hazards and the heartaches that go along with a journalistic career for those who never make a name for themselves in its ranks, I must still say that I do not know another profession in which a man can so nearly satis fy his thirst for adventure in an increasingly standardized world as in journalism.
