Excerpt from Journalism: Its Relation to and Influence Upon the Political, Social, Professional, Financial, and Commercial Life of the United States of America
There is no need to give any historical sketch of journalism. If this is wanted, there is easy access to the information. The intent here is to point out the broad development of journalism.
Chemistry is spoken of as a science. Is there any good reason why journalism should not be regarded also as a science? Chemistry deals with elements not a whit more mutable than the elements with which journalism deals. Chemistry has an ever widening field of operation and investigation. So has journalism. The absolute science of journalism has not been reached any more than all the science of chemistry has become known.
