In 1930, Martin Quigley, publisher of \u003ci\u003eExhibitors Herald\u003c\/i\u003e, conspired with Hollywood studios to eliminate all competing trade papers, yet this attempt and each one thereafter collapsed. Exploring the communities of exhibitors and creative workers that constituted key subscribers, \u003ci\u003eInk-Stained Hollywood\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of how a heterogeneous trade press triumphed by appealing to the foundational aspects of industry culture—taste, vanity, partisanship, and exclusivity. In captivating detail, Eric Hoyt chronicles the histories of well-known trade papers (\u003ci\u003eVariety, Motion Picture Herald\u003c\/i\u003e) alongside important yet forgotten publications (\u003ci\u003eFilm Spectator\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFilm Mercury\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eCamera!\u003c\/i\u003e), and challenges the canon of film periodicals, offering new interpretative frameworks for understanding print journalism’s relationship with the motion picture industry and its continued impact on creative industries today.","brand":"Eric Hoyt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48200212349179,"sku":"9780520383708","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_51b20b3d-70b4-470a-ab9c-751a317bd205.jpg?v=1770691463","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/ink-stained-hollywood-9780520383708","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
