Growing bored while accompanying his Cambridge chum Mike on a cricket tour of the United States, Psmith seeks adventure in New York City. He finds it in the form of the weekly newspaper Cosy Moments, a completely bland and inoffensive publication at which, through charm and sheer force of personality, Psmith appoints himself an unpaid subeditor, fires the entire contributing staff, and embarks on a crusade against the slumlords, gangs, and boxing managers of his holiday destination. Psmith, Journalist is the third of Wodehouse’s Psmith novels, and is a marked departure from the author’s usual settings and themes. It presents a very strong social justice theme with direct, harsh condemnation of exploitation, corruption, racism, and inequality in early-twentieth century America, and its themes continue to resonate with readers a century later. The story first appeared in The Captain magazine from October 1909 to February 1910, and was first published as a book, including eight illustrations, by A & C Black in 1915. This Standard Ebook is based on the 1923 edition by the same publisher. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.

Taking place in Wodehouse’s delightful version of Britain, Psmith, Journalist follows the titular dandy Psmith as he accompanies his friend and fellow student Mike Jackson on a cricket tour to New York. Once there, he runs into the sub-editor of a local magazine, Cosy Moments, and decides to take the reins of the publication. While tackling various social issues in the community and spreading the word, Psmith gets into scuffles with local ruffians, crooked politicians and sleazy landlords, but in classic fashion, he manages to neatly duck out of trouble and resolve everything with his sharp wit and bright personality.
