Carl Venos book, Invisible Ink, provides an insiders view of
the newspaper world during the authors 25-years as a
journalist and editor - at a time when major events were
having dramatic affects on American society. Told in a
no-nonsense matter-of-fact manner, the tales of experience
are intermingled with the authors family history, including
the immigration of his Italian ancestors to America more
than 125 years ago. Reminiscent moments clearly reveal
Carls fond memories of growing up and his youthful love of
New York.

Various newspaper readership “wars” were destroying and
absorbing each other during an incredible age of change
and discovery for the American people. Exciting and
newsworthy issues including men and women learning to
co-exist in the workplace, mobsters, racism, riots, war and
space travel were fighting for newspaper space. Between all
this the author reveals inner office politics within the
industry. We all know from our own experience, differences
occur at places of employment management issues,
co-worker competition, etc. and it is all here. Yet on top of
this the reader is introduced to interesting and eccentric
characters, complicated work-related relationships and
office love affairs. The epilogue closes nicely with the fate of
some of the newspapers mentioned in the book.

Prior to entering the world of journalism, Carl spent time as
a barber, boxer and army trooper. Not including his
free-lance work and lecturing, Veno was employed by eight
newspapers (some of which won many awards) and was
nominated for the Pulitzer Prize during his career. Carl is
now retired and able to pursue his love of exercise through
jogging and continues to write books.
