About this Quote

This quote by Thomas Wolfe is a pointer that journalism, regardless of how effective, can not produce a musician or assure the success of their job. The press can just bring the public the information of the artist and also their work. It is ultimately approximately the public to choose if the artist and also their job achieves success. The press can just offer the information and ball games, but it depends on the general public to make a decision if the musician as well as their job deserves their focus. Journalism can only provide the information, yet it is up to the general public to make a decision if the musician and also their work is worth their time.
