ADL Parley Ends With $5,257,000 Budget,

Splendid Illustrated Youth Volume
Explaining 'This Is a Newspaper'
Lawrence H. Feigenbaum and
Kalman Seigel have combined
their skills to produce an excel-
lent explanation of the making of
a newspaper. With the added
values of the illustrations by Art
Seiden, their book, "This Is a
Newspaper," published by Fol-
lett Publishing Co. (432 Park Ave.,
S., NY 16), is so thorough that it
serves an excellent educational
purpose.
The two authors commence
their story with an evaluation of
the importance of news and the
role of reporters who "must be
honest, dependable and brave too,
sometimes risking their lives to
get a story.
They then proceed to describe
a newspaper office, the functions
of cables and teletypes in news
gathering.
Search for and types of
stories and areas covering great
distances that must often be
reached to get stories are in-
dictated in the well-told analy-
sis.
The story proceeds with ex-
planations of deadlines, of the
newspaper "m or g u e" wherein
staff finds desired data about
people and events, about copy-
reading and editing and proof-
reading.
Then there are descriptions of
the use and the making of pic-
tures, of the manner in which a
screen breaks a picture up into
dots and the result is the making
of zincs—of cuts that are vital
in news publishing.
Photographers' roles are des-
cribed, use of "copy" is outlined,
the skill of making "layouts" is
indicated as are descriptions of
make-up, of locking forms, of put-
ting paper to bed.
