Journalism Versus Art (1916)

""Journalism Versus Art"" is a non-fiction book written by Max Eastman and published in 1916. The book is a collection of essays that explore the conflict between journalism and art. Eastman argues that journalism, with its emphasis on speed and brevity, often sacrifices quality and depth in favor of sensational headlines and quick stories that appeal to a mass audience. In contrast, art is more concerned with beauty, truth, and meaning, and requires time and contemplation to fully appreciate. Eastman also examines the role of the artist in society, and the challenges they face in a world that prioritizes commerce and entertainment over artistic expression. Overall, ""Journalism Versus Art"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the tension between two important aspects of modern culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
