“I
cannot understand why it is, Mr. Pulitzer, that you always speak so kindly of
reporters and so severely of all editors.”
“Well,” Pulitzer replied, “I

disappointment.”
—Don Carlos Seitz (1862-1935), newspaperman, author and business manager of The New York World, “Training for the Newspaper
Trade,” 1916
