Mark Tidd, Editor

By Clarence Budington Kelland and William Wallace Clarke

Book Overview

Mark Tidd, Editor centers on youthful ambition intersecting with the world of print journalism in a close-knit town. When a group of friends takes charge of a failing newspaper, the shift from idle days to enterprise brings unexpected lessons and responsibility. The decision to breathe new life into the local publication is driven less by profit than by a belief in the power of community stories and youthful purpose. The narrative captures how everyday interactions and observations become newsworthy, revealing how information can empower or mislead. As challenges surface from securing ownership to navigating social tensions the characters grow increasingly aware of the weight of influence and the ethics of communication. The newspaper becomes both a project and a reflection of their ideals, blending humor with sincerity. Their collective efforts reveal the tension between idealism and practical limits, while also showcasing how camaraderie fuels resilience. Beyond the humor, the story delves into how young individuals find their voice in the public sphere, experimenting with both the mechanics of business and the principles of truth.
