Journalism here is hectic; fast paced and probably can’t mess up very much on the typewriters. Obviously, this is old fashioned and the way it used to be. Everyone seems to be very interactive, friendly, and home-like with each other as well. This paper and these people are political as well (being that the paper is democratic). They want to be the first ones to break a story as well; just like the coal mine (he missed their honeymoon in the original place).
What these people are like is Walter is the typical, do anything journalist. He even shoved aside his honeymoon from his new wife to be the first one in the country to break the big coal mine story. Walter talks fast and speaks his mind, maybe talking to much. Basically, with this personality he will cover anything and do anything for a story. He has a lot of “charm” according to Bruce.
Hildy was a young college grad when she broke into the business “five years ago.” Walter calls her a journalist and argues with her to stay at the paper. He wants her to keep staying with the business. Bruce says no one knows what she is going to say or do, hence being a good “newspaper man,” because she is spontaneous and will do anything. According to Walter, she has a “woman’s touch” for certain stories.
