When you write in a historical period, it pays to know what people considered the "done" thing to do, even if your characters don't always follow all the rules.

Grok says you nailed it @misericordius
Yes, the video nails it. Yellow journalism exploded in the 1890s US via Pulitzer's World and Hearst's Journal, fueled by the Yellow Kid cartoon and wild, unverified scoops. Hearst kept the sensational style into the 1920s. In the UK, News of the World (launched 1843, run by Lord Riddell in the 1920s) thrived on trashy scandals—Agatha Christie even nodded to it.
People pushed back with angry letters to editors questioning "Is this true?" Same skepticism, different tools. History rhymes.

What were they clutching their pearls at, back in the 1920s? (And the 1890s, and the 1840s, because some things never change ...)

ONE DAY MORE before A Pretender's Murder officially releases into the wild!
ALT Three books nestled in a blue armchair with a sepia-patterned cushion: A Gentleman's Murder, Unnatural Ends, and A Pretender's Murder. Before them, a dagger-like letter opener with a lion's head handle lies on the coils of an undone burgundy bowtie.

Writing a mixed-race main character in a Golden Age mystery means researching racial tensions in post-WW1 Britain.
(Most of the images used here come from The Mixed Museum, which is well worth the look: mixedmuseum.org.uk/)

❓Did the book series we read as kids condition us to consume sequels? And in an age where it seems like everything is an extended universe, what if our reality is also turning into one big sequel?

Nothing beats print 📕
Stephen knows how to capture the moment in his writing, be it through fiction in THE EDITORS, or in his forthcoming nonfiction from @StMartinsPress.
We're excited to read, @harrisonstephen!
I am so excited to announce that my first nonfiction book, THE POWER OF PRINT, will be published by St. Martin's Press. It's about how we think differently with paper versus screens, and why that difference matters more than ever.
ALT Journalist and tech insider with bylines in the NYT and WP Stephen Harrison's THE POWER OF PRINT: THE CASE FOR PAPER & INK IN THE AGE OF TECHNOLOGY, pitched for readers of Jonathan Haidt's THE ANXIOUS GENERATION and Johann Hari's STOLEN FOCUS, with a foreword from Master Class founder Aaron Rasmussen, a science-backed case for why paper and ink—not screens—are humanity's most powerful tools for focus, memory, and clear thinking in the age of AI, to Peter Wolverton at St. Martin's, by Mark Gottlieb at Trident Media Group (NA).
