Summary "The Profession of Journalism" by Willard Grosvenor Bleyer is a collection of essays on the field of journalism, written in the early 20th century. This comprehensive work gathers significant writings that delve into various aspects of newspaper editing and publishing, covering topics like news policies, the influence of the press, and ethical considerations in journalism. It aims to highlight both the challenges and responsibilities inherent in the profession, making it relevant for journalists, students, and general readers with an interest in media. The opening portion of the text sets the stage by outlining Bleyer's intent to collate meaningful contributions previously published in The Atlantic Monthly. He emphasizes the critical role that newspapers play in shaping public opinion and their function as the primary source of information for the masses. Bleyer calls attention to the evolution of journalism, reflecting on its growing complexity and the pressing need for journalists to recognize the implications of their work in a democratic society. He argues for the necessity of professional ethics and standards in journalism, especially given the significant impact of media on public discourse and action.
