A news sense is really a sense of what is important, what is vital, what has color and life - what people are interested in. That's journalism.
"Arthur Burton Rascoe", was an United States of America/American journalist, Editing#Periodicals/editor and literary criticism/literary critic of the New York Herald Tribune.
Born in Fulton, Kentucky to Matthew L. Rascoe and Elizabeth Burton Rascoe, Rascoe grew up in Shawnee, Oklahoma. He was class president at Shawnee High School and participated in sports while also working for the local newspaper. Feeling confined to the small town and his increasing more open-minded views he left school before graduation and moved to Chicago. From 1911 until 1913, he attended the University of Chicago where he joined Sigma Nu. While still a student, he started writing for the Chicago Tribune, where he continued working until 1920.
In 1922, he became literary editor of the New York Tribune. He continued in that position until a merger turned the paper into the New York Herald Tribune in 1924. The writing and editorial staff he assembled included writers who became well-respected: Isabel Paterson and Will Cuppy.
More Burton Rascoe on Wikipedia.I felt exactly like the man in the advertisement who has not devoted fifteen minutes a day to the study of the classics. If only (I thought) I had devoted fifteen minutes a day to the cultivation of the aesthetic attitude!
What no wife of a writer can ever understand is that a writer is working when he's staring out the window.
