We Had Ink in Our Blood
We Had Ink In Our Blood is a collection of memoirs by former reporters and editors of two Central Pennsylvania newspapers, the Pennsylvania Mirror and the Centre Daily Times, who battled for the same readers between 1968-77. This book describes the birth and death of the Mirror. We hear from two children of the rival newsroom executives, Paul Houck and Jerry Weinstein, who describe their fathers' ambitions and personal dreams. Tom Berner tells the story of the Mirror's very first issue in 1968, which did not get off the press until the wee hours of the morning. Reporter Robert Emmers describes working for the CDT and the Mirror, noting the differences between the two newsrooms and their appr...
The Literature of Journalism
"Various experts have attempted to describe the basis of the literature of journalism, but Berner's book goes these books a huge step better: It captures its evolving spirit. The examples, drawn from both the classic and the obscure, trace how journalism's best writing in the present grows from its best, and most heroic, efforts in the past. The accompanying analysis by the author, invariable incisive and intelligent, highlights the meaning of what's being read. This makes for a lively, provocative and (most important) immensely readable collection, both for the classroom and for the bedside stand. It will surely confirm Berner's place as one of our leading scholars on the literature of journalism."--Jon Franklin.

The Genteel John O'Hara
The writer John O'Hara (1905-1970) came from Pottsville in Pennsylvania. He put his home town and the surrounding vicinity under a microscope to produce an account of 'The Anthracite Region' that rivals Edith Wharton's descriptions of New York and Sinclair Lewis's anatomy of Sauk Centre. With the discerning eye of a local resident, O'Hara recreated this coal-rich region and its people so well that his novelettes, novellas, novels, plays and short stories give a true record of his 'Pennsylvania Protectorate' in the latter part of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century. In order to reveal the ethnographical, geographical and historical authenticity of the O'Hara Can...
