FN SELFISH IDEALISM BEHIND
LOCAL NEWSPAPERS
The local newspaper in the United
States is -i eh year getting on a firmer
foundation and becoming more and
more useful to its home and commun-
ity.
It is the home paper which boosts
the town, year in and year out, which
takes the l« ad in every enterprise
which has for its purpose the upbuild-
ing of the community.
We frequently hear it said that the
old-time independent spirit of the
newspaper is ttone, that its editorial
policy is now subservient to the busi-
ness office. Yet thin is not true.
There i more unselfish idealism in
the average local newspaper than >n
any other business enterprise It
frequently speaks out in the wi-.y
hich it believes will be for the goo J
of the nation nnd of the comt;
regardless of what the consequent, es
may be from a business sta.n'point.
The local hewspaper is the principal
booster for th > community, and it doe*
it* boosting often without hope of
material reward. Unfortunate i the
community which neither ap, eciates
nor supports its local new*p.i,«n. —
