Plan No. 680. Newspaper Man Makes Extra Money
Reporters on newspapers make extra money by following the career of men who are public spirited. They become familiar with their aspirations and try to help them make good, by giving them all the newspaper support they possibly can. Of course, this cannot be done without compensation, and the reporter is paid extra for this work. It is valuable aid, for the man who desires to attain political prominence. The reporter, as a rule, is under-paid, and this enables him to increase his income considerably.
The reporter’s advice alone is worth a great deal, as the average aspirant for office does not understand what is, and what is not, a good news article. The reporter can be absolutely fair with the paper and render this service.
