爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导

The editor is the pivot of a magazine. On him everything turns. If his gauge of the public is correct, readers will come: they cannot help coming to the man who has something to say himself, or who presents writers who have. And if the reader comes, the advertiser must come. He must go where his largest market is: where the buyers are. The advertiser, instead of being the most difficult factor in a magazine proposition, as is so often mistakenly thought, is, in reality, the simplest. He has no choice but to advertise in the successful periodical. He must come along. The editor need never worry about him. If the advertiser shuns the periodical's pages, the fault is rarely that of the advertiser: the editor can generally look for the reason nearer home.

白话

编辑是杂志的轴心,一切都围绕他转。只要他对公众的判断准确,读者自然会来:人们会追随有自己见解、或能请到有见解的作者的人。读者来了,广告商也必然来,因为他必须去买家最多的地方。广告商常被误认为杂志最难搞的因素,其实最简单:他别无选择,只能投成功刊物。编辑不必操心他;若广告商避开你的页面,原因多半不在广告商,而在编辑自己。
