Såhär kunde journalistiken se ut för hundra år sen, Henry James talar om journalistik, krig, språkets förmåga och oförmåga att beskriva det fruktansvårda, etc "Here Mr. James broke off as if these facts were, in their horror, too many and too much for him. But after amother moment he explained his pause: “One finds it in the midst of all this as hard to apply one’s words as to endure one’s thoughts. The war has used up words; they have weakened, they have deteriorated like motor car tires; they have, like millions of other things, been more overstrained and knocked about and voided of the happy semblance during the last six months than in all the long ages before, and we are now confronted with a deprecation of all our terms, or, otherwise speaking, with a loss of expression through increase of limpness, that may well make us wonder what ghosts will be left to walk.”: query.nytimes/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=F00C12F73F5D1A728DDDA80A94DB405B858DF1D3
