For nearly half a century, Arthur Aull captivated a rural Missouri town and a national audience with his sensationalistic, all-the- news-is-fit-to-print approach to journalism. As editor and publisher of the Lamar Democrat from 1900 to 1948, he disregarded most of the traditional rules of news coverage. Every scandal and piece of gossip he could turn up helped fill the pages of his newspaper, an afternoon daily in a town of about 2,300. His tales of grisly accidents, murders, rapes, juvenile crime, suicides, and sensational divorces reminded skeptics of the earlier yellow journalism era.
Aull embellished nearly all of his stories with a personal, homespun flavor, and that's what caught the attention of syndicated columnists O. O. McIntyre and Ted Cook in the late 1920s. They started sprinkling their columns with curious items from the Democrat, and soon after unusual stories from the paper began showing up in the New York Times, the New York World-Telegram, the New Yorker, and even the Journal of the American Medical Association. Feature stories about Aull appeared in Publishers' Auxiliary, the Chicago Daily News, Life, Time, Newsweek, American Magazine, and Harper's. Aull became known coast to coast as one of the most colorful figures in country journalism, and the Democrat attracted subscribers in all forty-eight states plus Canada and England. Even President Truman, who was born in Lamar, noted Aull's death on May 7, 1948, declaring that an "able and picturesque figure in American journalism has passed on."
Despite the national acclaim, Aull remained an unpretentious small- town editor. He had his own code of ethics, which he refused to modify to reflect the changing times. He was sued for libel three times, assaulted with a club, threatened with other kinds of bodily harm, and cursed by many. Yet, he persisted in scouring the town of Lamar for any news that would help him sell a few more copies of the Democrat.
Although the influence of country journalism on American society cannot be disputed, relatively little has been written on the vital role country journalists play. All the News Is Fit to Print, which traces Aull's transformation from a struggling schoolteacher to one of the best-known small-town newspapermen in America, will help remedy that oversight. Anyone with an interest in the history of journalism or small-town life will find this work fascinating.

From Publishers Weekly
Small-paper editor and publisher Arthur Aull spent a lifetime chronicling the gossipy ins-and-outs of Lamar, Mo. (pop. 2300), in his Democrat. With shocker headlines like "He Was Eaten by Hogs" and "To Go to Hell vs. Don't Give a Damn," the country editor ran a rag worthy of the New York Post in its heyday. But Aull, as this biography shows, strove to fill his pages with fresh, local copy daily and never let competitors or danger sway him from printing the truth--except when he refrained from printing the names of participants in a horrifying lynch mob, the saddest episode in his paper's history. When Stebbins, who teaches journalism at Missouri Southern State College, focuses on Aull and the life of the town, he paints a lush, detailed portrait of a man of whom even his competition wrote, "He lived by the sword and died as far as is known stanchly [sic] holding to his convictions. He asked favors of no man and extended none... his species is extinct." Stebbins falters, however, in the sometimes repetitive and superfluous attempts to summarize Aull's life or when he tries to enliven a local business battle between Aull and his rivals that colored the newspaperman's early ownership of the Democrat (he bought it in 1900 and ran it until his death in 1948). When the author follows the example of his subject--sticking to the basic facts, while allowing for reasonable "embellishment"--he delivers a gripping story that every armchair reporter and news junkie can enjoy perusing. 15 b&w illustrations.

From Library Journal
At the beginning of the century, locally owned independent newspapers were a common feature of small-town American life. Stebbins (journalism, Missouri Southern State Coll.) preserves the story of Arthur Aull, editor and publisher of the Lamar Democrat. While Aull was not a typical newspaperman, he was one of the most colorful if not outrageous journalists of his time. From 1900 to 1948, he scoured the community for scandal and gossip to fill the pages of his daily paper. Lamar, MO, with 2300 residents, had three competing newspapers in the early 20th century. Sensation, in Aull's opinion, sold newspapers. He did not hesitate to tell the details of divorce proceedings or name the victims in rape cases. Stebbins relies heavily on microfilmed copies of the newspaper, in addition to interviews with Aull's daughter, in his research. This book will be of interest to journalism historians and should be purchased for academic journalism collections.?Judy Solberg, George Washington Univ. Lib., Washington, DC

A revelation of life in small town America in early 1900s
By A Customer
Though a scholarly biography, the book reveals much more about life in a small mid-west America town at the turn of the century than many other biographies or novels. Well worth reading for an insight into "news" that didn't make most newspapers but which was true in revealing life, the book is nicely crafted and the author writes with a knowing touch.One would wish for more intimate details of the subject's life, but he was a private man, kept no diary, and did not tell his innermost thoughts to his family. The book, however, succeeds, because it reveals the town, Lamar, MO (which happened to be President Truman's birthplace, and where Wyatt Earp had been Marshall and where the Earp kinfolk lived on) and some of the foibles and fancies of American life. I hope the author writes another book soon.

Americana at its best.
By A Customer
My first reaction upon completing this books was: What a great TV series this would make! It would be in the vein of "Medicine Woman," perhaps, although of more recent vintage. It would, however, chronicle the daily life of a small American town at a fascinating period of American history. As seen through the eyes of a newspaper editor who thought everything was, indeed, fit to print, the series could be a story of America's development. Its location is purely midwestern but allows us to travel to the metropolises of Kansas City, St. Louis, New York, San Francisco--to meet fascinating people from all walks of life and to take pride in what this nation has accomplished. Good reding? You bet!

Great biography of a very interesting journalist
By Daniel
This biography of Arthur Aull, a small-town journalist at the turn of the twentieth century, is a most fascinating read. The role of the small-town newspaper publisher carried much of the moral weight of towns like Lamar, Missouri, during the first half of the twentieth century before the era of instant news carried by radio and television changed everything. The author does a fine job of demonstrating the role in both politics and society that newspaper publishers played during this era. Arthur Aull was routinely used as a classic example of the important role of journalists in developing America by the Journalism School of the University of Missouri. In addition, he was a character that continues to shape the nature of the small town where he published; his legacy newspaper still is in publication.
