Summary "A Journalist's Note-Book" by Frank Frankfort Moore is a collection of reflections and anecdotes about the world of journalism written in the late 19th century. The narrative offers insights into the life of a journalist, touching upon experiences, societal perceptions, and the evolution of journalism as a profession. Through a humorous and satirical lens, it paints a picture of the challenges, quirks, and oddities found within the trade. The opening of the work introduces the theme of respectability in journalism, contrasting past and present practices. It begins with a story about an auction of wine, drawing a parallel between the odd assortment of wine lots and the collection of varied journalistic experiences to follow. Moore reflects on how journalism has transitioned from a vocation of disrepute to one of respectability, despite lingering misconceptions about journalists. The intricacies of writing, popular reactions to news, and the personal anecdotes of those in the field are interwoven, setting the stage for a critique of the profession and its evolution, while also hinting at humor and satire that will emerge throughout the text.
