Here’s an article on editing by Ray
Long, one of the top American magazine editors of the
early 20th Century. The article originally appeared in the January
1927 issue of The Bookman. At the
time that this article was written, Long was at the peak of his career, editing
Cosmopolitan magazine, a very
different magazine than the one today – full of fiction. His annual salary was
reputed to be about $180,000, approximately two and a half million dollars in
2016.
