Un article intéressant pour en apprendre plus sur la pratique, mais également sur l'évolution du journalisme qui n'était pas encore une véritable profession.
J'aime bien ce passage où on décrit les journalistes:
"At the time, journalism wasn't much of a profession," says David Ryfe, associate professor at Reynolds School of Journalism in the University of Nevada, Reno.
"Many were uneducated, many had second jobs because they were unable to make a living out of it."
Un petit sourire en lisant que Wilson se comportait un peu comme un professeur et qu'il répondait sans lire ses notes:
"Remarkably, he answered questions across the full range of government business off the cuff and without briefing notes, though he was known to prepare extensively.
Overall, the tone is of a wry senior academic tutoring an awed student seminar - perhaps unsurprisingly, given that Wilson had previously served as president of Princeton, and two of the press corps, Arthur Krock and David Lawrence, were his former students.
"He was a professor and his view of political leadership was that it was about educating the public," says John Milton Cooper, Wilson's biographer.
"He wanted to elevate the level of public debate. He wanted people to understand."%% L'article au complet:
