Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Neil Hickey was a twenty-four year old job seeker when he heard the editor of a major magazine call journalism 'the most fun you can have, standing up.'The young reporter had already come to that conclusion independently after working his way through college as a Baltimore newspaperman. He'd go on to spend more than a half century meeting movie stars, musicians, and some of the most powerful people in Washington as he honed his craft.Now an adjunct professor at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, Hickey shares an insider's view of pop culture, war, oppression, and even happenings beyond our solar system.Meeting astronaut Neil Armstrong trumped interviews with presidents of the United States, secretaries of state past and present, and Nobel Prize winners. In Singapore, his assignment was to serve as a judge for the Miss Universe contest. Whether it's chatting with President Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter, traveling with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger or investigating the Challenger spacecraft disaster, Hickey shares deep insights into American culture, the nature of war, and the art of journalism in Adventures in the Scribblers Trade.…

1p., 8vo. In good condition, on lightly-aged paper. Van Thal was 'most distressed to read in the Daily Express this morning that you were no longer connected with that paper.'

He hopes it will be 'discoverable as to where you are going to continue to write - or have politics put an end to a chapter?' In a postscript he states that he is at least 'able to console myself with Hansard!'.…

6pp., 4to, numbered 4-9. Carbon copies on six leaves. In fair condition, on aged and creased paper. The account does not appear to have been published, and indeed could not have been published during wartime. It may be that it was written for an editor at the Daily Express, but the extent of revision and emendation suggests that it was written with an eye to publication after the war. The first page, numbered 4, begins, after an eight-line deleted passage: 'Reynold's second-in-command is Major Mc.Cormack, a whimsical, helpful little Northern Irishman with strong Evangelical views. He & the four Chief Press Officers, handled me amiably enough; none individually seems responsible for the rows & inconveniences which occur daily. Then there are the Conducting Officers - hearty, convivial cavalrymen who wouldn't profess to know much about any periodical but the Field & Country Life. One of them said to me the other night, "Hickey . . . . ? Oh yes, I've read your stuff. You do cats in the Sunday Times, don't you?" Research established that he was referring to Nat Gubbins in the Sunday Express. Some of the reporters find this Bullingdon manner a little overwhelming; others say that they are useful on the job, since they are on Christian-name terms with the OC of every unit visited.' At the foot of the first page he begins his description of how 'The King's visit brought the rows & inconveniences to a climax. | To begin with, elaborate arrangements had been made to keep all news of it secret till after he had returned to England. On the day the King sailed for France, it was decided in London to release the news at once, after all. But the first that PR in France knew of this decision was hours after the King's arrival, when someone happened to be listening in & heard the news on the BBC.' | Then the censorship fell into its most jittery mood. We were allowed to say that the news had been left secret till the King's arrival (which was obvious). We were not allowed to say that the release came as a surprise to us in France: any hint that deprartmental co-ordination is not 100% perfect is regarded (wrongly, I think) as dangerous. | We were not allowed to quote even such amusing details as the pseudonyms by which, for secrecy, the King had been spoken of beforehand: even among ourselves we had to day "When Mr Harris arrives . . ."; some of the PR staff called him "Mr Big."' He addresses the reader: 'You have heard already of the curious fool arrangement by which glimpses of the King were rationed among the reporters.' He explains that the official description of the 'conference on the day the King lunched with Lebrun & Daladier' was 'not even accurate. There had been no exchange of toasts. There had been only one toast: the King, as host, had drunk the President of the Republic's health. The reporter put this in his story; found later, to his fury, that a censor had struck it out, writing in instead the smug "Cordial toasts were exchanged".' He discusses the role of the censors. The last page (numbered 9) concludes: 'Our reporters are annoyed by all this nonsense & tiresomeness; but its effect on the Americans is likely to be serious. [.] Red tape presented at least one glowingly pro-British news-agency story of the King's visit from appearing in 1,500 newspapers, mostly in America. The agency man was away that day. He asked another accredited war reporter to cover the story for him.' From the Driberg papers. See Image.…
