Produktbeschreibung
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.
Autorenporträt
Clarence Budington Kelland was an American writer. He was a notable literary personality in his heyday, describing himself as "the best second-rate writer in America" and being prolific and versatile. His most well-known juvenile works were the Mark Tidd and Catty Atkins series, while his best-known adult work was the Scattergood Baines series. Kelland's other famous adult books include: Conflict (1920), Rhoda Fair (1925), Hard Money (1930), Arizona (1939), and Dangerous Angel (1953). Kelland's name lives on in hundreds of films based on his works, notably Speak Easily (1932), starring Buster Keaton. The film Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936), starring Gary Cooper, was based on the Kelland serial Opera Hat from The American Magazine. Opera Hat was eventually adapted into the short-lived television series Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1969 70) and the film Mr. Deeds (2002). One of Kelland's most well-known characters, Scattergood Baines, appeared in six Hollywood pictures from 1941 to 1943, starring Guy Kibbee as Baines. The Baines character was a benevolent but often misunderstood guy who tried to aid the residents of his little village.
