mm mm In armor British Cold age Freed Exchange he 0mm Examiner Pubuahedbymldlmxmlafd rowsmtmomme AGE NIT WAY JANUAII tamer Our Policy In Reporting Magistrates Court News these extreme practices that editors Please keep my name out of the paperlf How often have newspaper ed itors beardsuch request from some person who has appeared on the wrong side of the bar in magistralcs court and belatedly thinks of the adverse effect on himself if publicity is given to his misdemeanor How do editors react to such In quest In various ways Some take the easy way and ignore police court news entirely Some go to the other extreme and publish all court news including names To our mind neither practice is satisfactory solu tion of problem which plagues all ed itors nor is either good journalism To ignore crlrne news entirely is to pretend that crime does not exist It is to cheat ones readers for good many want to know what goes on in court and no matter how much the editor may de plore the sordidness of crime and its consequences he should not be the ar biter of what his subscribers shall or shall not read They pay him to give them the news not to act as sell appointed censor More important still to ignore crime news actually encourages crime Many man would steel or rob or commit assault and take chance on punish ment if he thought no one would know about it Publicity acts in many cases as deterrent more we believe than fine and almost as much as jail sen tence On the other hand to go to the other extreme and publish details of all police court proceedings is to deal with triv ialities and show disregardfor news values dogfight on street corner is of more interest than much that goes on in court yet some newspapers that will overlook the dogfight will publish the news of vagrants drunks speeders and other pettyoffenders along with details of their offences although it makes pretty dull reading There are not many newspapers we believe which follow one or other of edopt realistic attitude and try to solve the problem having regard to their own circumstances and following certain broad principles The editor has to remember and the public should realize that the newspaper does not make the news but it is its duty to report the news including any thing newsworthy that develops in court It is also duty to discriminate betweep what is news and what is so common place and trivial as to have no news value It is further duty to see that in reporting crime news it does not offend against good taste wound the feelings nor injure the reputation of persons who may have become involved through cir cumstances beyond their control That is the guiding principle behind the policy of The Barrie Examiner in dealing with court news We rarely if ever give publicity to prosecutions for vagranty drunkenness minor truffle vi olations or other petty offences All other offences are reporte udnless they are devoid of news value No prosecu tion is reported without the name of the offenderif on compassionate grounds we yield to request that the name of an accused person be omitted as has sometimes happened we kill the whole story rather than publish it without the name We treat crime as we do any other occurrence giving it what we consider its proper news value but realizing that our newspaper goes into most of the homes in this area where they are read by every member of the family old and young we do not feature rather we tend to tone down the unsavory and sordid details that sometimes come out in police investigations or court hearings We do not claim that our policy in dealing with crime news and court pro ceedings is the best there is and it prob ably would not suit every newspaper but and we believe this is important we feel it is fair to everyone and short of abolishing crime entirely as satisfactory as possible Opinions of Other Nevispapers ADMII TORONTO HAS TIS POINTS Montreal Star We are so accustomed to throwing jibes at Toronto

over the next few months carrsxnu came The voice of Bush Galiskell leader of the Socialist Party in condemnation of the freeing ol sierllng sounds out like voice in the wilderness He regards the decisions of the government as great mistakes Ills view is that it will produce even greater competition with British ex ports snd will lead to an lni Hesse in unemployment llul none of the economists writing in the press agree with him They contend that since the Socialist party behaves in bring ing eve lng under govern ment con ii is natural that it should disapprove of anything which removes controls and tends to give greater freedom to private enterprise THE IMPORTANT ANGLE The important angle of the freeing of sterling that is stress ed by competent commentators is that it reflects the tremend ous progress Britain has made in production and exports since the days of the war They point to the fact that since 1030 total output of all goods in Bri tain has increased by 00 per cent
