About the author
Grant Milnor Hyde (born April 4, 1889; died in 1972) was an American journalism educator and author best known for instructional books on reporting, editing, and newsroom practice.
His published works include Newspaper Reporting and Correspondence, Newspaper Editing, and Handbook for Newspaper Workers. Title pages and library records identify him with the University of Wisconsin, where he taught journalism, and later editions describe him as an associate professor of journalism and editor of the university press bureau.
What stands out about Hyde is how practical his writing was. Rather than treating journalism as theory, he wrote for working reporters and students who needed concrete help with news writing, copy preparation, headlines, accuracy, and office practice. That straightforward approach is a big reason his books continued to circulate long after their original publication.
