Honored Edward Dutton Cook who lived in the era when journalism emerged as a “career.” He published his first article in Chambers's Journal and others in the Gentleman's Magazine, All the Year Round, and Temple Bar. Once acting editor of the Cornhill Magazine, he achieved his greatest fame as theatre critic of the Pall Mall Gazette and World.
4. Layard, Gertrude. “Armand Carrel.” 5 (1884–85): 48–53.
Saluted Carrel, “the great French journalist,” whose early newspaper columns were on the military. He then wrote about politics for gazettes and magazines until January 1830 when he began the National with Adolphe Thiers. In July, when the king cancelled press liberties, journalists assembled at the National offices planning a resistance that subsequently helped to drive Charles X from power. Carrel, who knew the power of the daily, soon made the National “the ablest and most influential political journal.”
