Charles Goodrich Whiting
Edit ProfileEducation
He attended the high school in Chicopee Falls, and for a few years in his later teens and early twenties was miscellaneously employed in paper-making, farming, and clerking in country stores.
Career
At the age of twenty-six he joined the staff of the Springfield Republican, which under the exacting editorship of the second Samuel Bowles was already notable as a "school for journalists. " Unlike many of his colleagues Whiting did not leave the paper after a period of training; with the exception of an interval of about eighteen months, he remained in Springfield for more than fifty years. As a young reporter Whiting, with his lifelong friend Edward Smith King, was first assigned to the Evening News, a subsidiary of the Republican which Bowles discontinued after a short trial. Whiting then left Springfield to become assistant editor of the Albany Evening Times. In November 1872 he was recalled to the Republican, first as head of the local department, but from 1874 as literary editor. He also served as art critic and general editorial writer. In 1910 he resigned the literary desk to become associate editor of the newspaper, and in that capacity he continued until his retirement in 1919. Whiting was fortunate in being trained for his work in a discriminating school where his intelligence, wide culture, and gift of style were early recognized. Nevertheless, before he became literary editor he underwent a thorough initiation in general newspaper work. As local editor, with three other members of the overworked staff, he personally covered the Williamsburg flood in May 1874, and secured for his paper in record time a notably complete and vivid story of the disaster. He died at his country home in Otis, Massachusetts, survived by his wife and their two children.
Achievements
-
At the literary desk he brought independent judgment and fine insight to the routine work of book-reviewing. But his most widely appreciated contributions to the Republican were his editorial essays on general topics, particularly on country life, the pageant of the seasons, and the charms of the local landscape. Two collections of these pieces were published in book form as The Saunterer (1886) and Walks in New England (1903). In the literary life of Springfield and in the promotion of civic aims Whiting took a prominent part. He was a kindly adviser of younger writers and journalists, a chronicler of local history, and a poet on numerous public occasions, notably on the dedication of the Soldiers' Monument (1885), the celebration of the founding of Springfield (1911), the opening of the Auditorium (1913), and the dedication of the Municipal Buildings (1913). His literary distinction was recognized by his election to the National Institute of Arts and Letters.
