The Birth of Empire - DeWitt Clinton and the American Experience, 1769-1828 (Hardcover): Evan Cornog The Birth of Empire - DeWitt Clinton and the American Experience, 1769-1828 (Hardcover)
Evan Cornog
R2,156 Discovery Miles 21 560 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

DeWitt Clinton was one of the nation's leading political figures in the first quarter of the nineteenth century, serving as mayor of New York City, governor of the state, and narrowly losing the Presidential campaign of 1812 to James Madison. Patrician in sentiments, Clinton nevertheless invented new forms of party politics. His greatest achievement, the Erie Canal, hastened the economic expansion of the country, altered the political geography of the nation, set an example for activist government, and decisively secured New York City's position as the nation's metropolis. This book explores both the man and the critical economic, political, social and cultural changes in early nineteenth century America.

In this entertaining anthology, editors, writers, art directors, and publishers from such magazines as "Vanity Fair," "The New Yorker," "The New Republic," "Elle," and "Harper's" draw on their varied, colorful experiences to explore a range of issues concerning their profession. Combining anecdotes with expert analysis, these leading industry insiders speak on writing and editing articles, developing great talent, effectively incorporating art and design, and the critical relationship between advertising dollars and content. They emphasize the importance of fact checking and copyediting; share insight into managing the interests (and potential conflicts) of various departments; explain how to parlay an entry-level position into a masthead title; and weigh the increasing influence of business interests on editorial decisions. In addition to providing a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the making of successful and influential magazines, these contributors address the future of magazines in a digital environment and the ongoing importance of magazine journalism. Full of intimate reflections and surprising revelations, "The Art of Making Magazines" is both a how-to and a how-to-be guide for editors, journalists, students, and anyone hoping for a rare peek between the lines of their favorite magazines. The chapters are based on talks delivered as part of the George Delacorte Lecture Series at the Columbia School of Journalism.
