- Title
The Delicate Task of Sub-Editing: Edmund Yates, Charles Thomas, and The World.
- Authors

- Abstract
An unexplored collection of memos in Princeton University's Edmund Yates archives demonstrates the importance of collaboration between editor and sub-editor during a critical period of transformation in the press. Yates, a New Journalism innovator, edited several periodicals during the 1860s and 1870s, such as Tinsley's , Temple Bar , The Train , Comic Times , Town Talk , and Time. When he established The World with E. C. Grenville Murray in 1874, Yates had a clear vision of what his new paper should be. This essay evaluates memos between Yates and sub-editor Charles Thomas to reveal the inner workings of the paper and suggest that Thomas's job involved much more than the cutting and pasting practiced by traditional sub-editors.
