at www.luminosoa.org. For the first half of the twentieth century,
no American industry boasted a more motley and prolific trade press
than the movie business-a cutthroat landscape that set the stage
for battle by ink. In 1930, Martin Quigley, publisher of Exhibitors
Herald, conspired with Hollywood studios to eliminate all competing
trade papers, yet this attempt and each one thereafter collapsed.
Exploring the communities of exhibitors and creative workers that
constituted key subscribers, Ink-Stained Hollywood tells the story
of how a heterogeneous trade press triumphed by appealing to the
foundational aspects of industry culture-taste, vanity,
partisanship, and exclusivity. In captivating detail, Eric Hoyt
chronicles the histories of well-known trade papers (Variety,
Motion Picture Herald) alongside important yet forgotten
publications (Film Spectator, Film Mercury, and Camera!), and
challenges the canon of film periodicals, offering new
interpretative frameworks for understanding print journalism's
relationship with the motion picture industry and its continued
impact on creative industries today.
