Restless Genius

Barney Kilgore, The Wall Street Journal, and the Invention of Modern Journalism

This is a short book but it reads like a longer work because Tofel quotes Kilgore's writings so often, particularly the letters written between Kilgore and his father. Thus, the book is choppy and uneven, and Tofel does not write consistently well. However, I skimmed the book and learned a lot about Kilgore and his contributions to the Wall Street Journal. His innovations live to this day.
