Freedom of Press Basic To Democracy
When Russian farmers visited -this
continent they expressed a/Bawl-rent
aver the freedom of our newspapers.
They asked about stories and editor-
ials which criticized our public ;of&
They could not understand the
frequency of family pictures in the
papers. The freedom of reporting
scandals in public office as well as .
those of individuals, caused much of.
their amazenaent.
_ The readers of newspapers in- this
country are often critical of the -way
newspapers- report the news. But if
they had to live in a country where
these freedoms were denied they
would appreciate what is • meant- by
freedom of the press, speech and, as-
sembly. • Where there is a dictator
there is no such freedom because a
dictatorship could not survive under
such freedoms. •
As Newspaper Week i_s_again ob-
SerVed in this country, it inay,be..32vell
for newspapers to ask themselyes
how well they use this freedom. Such
an analysis will show it is misused in
many ways. There is much more
• space given to the sordid and scan-
dalous occurrence than there is to
wholesome news. • •-
That is an indictment of.-neWs-
• papers. But it is an equal indictment-
, of the readers. A newspaper is usual-
• 13r a reflection of the people who read
it. It is also a reflection of what goes
on in our daily lives. The 'unpleasant .
faCTS may not be printed; in other
countries. But that does zot mean
they do not occur. •-
Because of this enterprising atti-
tude of our newspapers there is dan-
ger that sensationalism is the• guid-
ing -factor. But if that ent,erprise-
• were censored the people would be
deprived of all inforMation that --
might be detrimental to the political
party in power. The thndencitowarcl
such censorship, is found. in every
party when it is in power. The knoWl-
edge that its acts are subject to wide
• publicity is the people's greatest -safe-
guard,
The circulation of newspapers _in
• this country is at the highest level
their history, We have the greatest
freedom of expression of any nation
in the world. With that freedom, or -
because of it, we have thehighest
living standards ever known in his-
tory. It is a combination that must be
protected frolic): those who would
change our way of life. It IS a pre-
cious heritage that must be protect-
ed by rif.o.wspapers reciagnizing their
responsibilitY for 'honest and sound
reporting. It should be protected by
readers who; through this freedom of
-the. press have sources of informa-
tion_ denied to most other people in
the world. (Contributed).
Learn To Accept
There are many matters about
• which we disagree. There are lots of
.dns--taken catirarY-1-6--
• the opinion of, many are., not-- the
wisest- or the, best decisions, but we
can't do an hing\ about them. We
Sometimes tend to be frustrated and
resentful, knowing- the futility of
senseless argument.
It is much easier to recognize that
• there are matters over which we
-have no control, or that we -cannot
change. Prime Minister Nehru, of
in a recent press conference,
described how he reacts on such oc-
casions,
He was asked if he reconeilectlifin.--
self to "the position that nothing can
be done for the Tibetans, that the ,
• dalai lama can never return, that the
Tibetan people will be absorbed by
'the Chinein their' own country."
"My dear sir," Nelpru replied.,
'thoughtfully, "I have not reconciled
myself to this position or a hundred ' •
or a thouSancl ther positions, but I
do not pretend to have authority or
- power- to change the shape of the
world,', the face of the world. As
things coine up, one triesto act to the
• laest of one's jucl ent."

•
Just ten years ago this fall I got
into the' newspaper "game','. Some.
game!, 'Like playing Polo riding a
pig. Or golf with a gag ,in your
mouth. --Or soccer with both feet
in a bag.
But if I have to be mixed up in
the newspaper business, Fm glad
with a weekly,'not a daily. I
don't know much about daily news-
papers;' -except tilat---most of them
meet an inevitable and,fitting end,
wrapped around garbage. But in
the .past decade, I'Ve learned a lot
about the exciting job of producing
'a wcekly newspaper. ,
I think we felloWs*.in the weeldy.
business have all the best Of it,
-and my' heart bleeds dor 'the poor
sods who slave on the dailies.
Their's is a pitifully dull eXistence.
. Imagine being a daily paper edi-
tor and iever. seeing anybody but
your 'secretaryand a gaggle of
nowed. iib -editors. A weeldy, editor
has a continuar stream. of fascin-
ating -visitors', ranging- ,-iroin the
town drunk Come t5 builfa quarter
toward a -bottle of 'bingo, to' a min-
ister come. te bum smile free pub-
licity or the teniiieranee move -
As fer,5as writing editorials goes,,
there isn't much between them.
The city editor, With the aid of his
editorial writers, produces beauti-'
fully vague editorials about for-
eign policy, or thunderouSly indig-
nant (nes about the government.
The weekly, editor can be equally
vague and indignant on- the „smith
subjects, and his aren't read either.
Then theres the' Prestige angle,
,
doubt me if one per "centkof his
readers, would', know the daily` ea,:
tor, even by sight. A weeldy
tor,- on the other -hand, is known
to most of, his readers, and on
every public appearanee, even if
he's only going for a toffee, is ac-
costed and aedused, nagged and
praised, told off and urged on. To
strangers ' he is introduced as
"one' editor, or the editor Of "our"
pater. heartwarming, I tell
'you, • - •
* '* ,
But vvlaere the weeldy editor has
all mitt his- daily conteraporary
is that he also gets to be a report-
.,
er, What does the daily editor do,
for example; when he hears the
fire---sirchs go bY?:-Probably sighs
nostaIgicallY and picks up the lat-
egt circulation report. The Weekly
editor, when- he hears that siren,
drops everything; runs for, his car_
and goes haring 'off .after •the fire
trtick, 'along with all the;„Idrispn
•ikes, ,the dogs, and'every Other,
able-bodied driver. i in town. • .
The dity reporter.,IS frequently
given -boring assignments, such aS
interviewing personalities like Mar-
ilyn Monroe or Gina Whatsername.
He asks the same' old, tired ques-
tions, ,and vvhat- does he get?, A
free drink, a, lot of Unnecessary
wiggling, and a few, stereo-tyPed
answers.
How much more interesting if
is to be a weekly editor and inter,
view, the real personalities like
.the, tOwn's "grand old ,lady", on
her 99th, birthday, screaming ques-
tions at her and jetting down an-
swers which prove, ort later exam-
ination, that she was -married when
