of the publisher that is fit in print without fear or favor regardless of any party sect or interest involved spect and confidence betweena newspaper and its readers is its chief asset all that is precious in its goodwill That respect rests on reputation for independent competence Giving all the news doesnt reports Heaven help the paper which is accurate in that sense It would have no readers and its reporters would all be shot by the people whose speeches or actions they recorded We do however expect our newspapers to give an unbiased factual interpretation of the news Weknow that all men have their prejudices and special interests Therefore we have not put the writing or editing of the news in to the hands of any single group political economic religious or social good newspaper does not cruE sade or propagandize in its news columns It is naturally anxious to see wrongs corrected to sponsor certain ideas but its own opinions are confined to the editorial page or to signed columns newspapers chief responsibil ity lies in reporting accurately what happens Such policy is based on belief in democracy on belief that an informed citi zenry is responsible citizenry and citizenry capable of guiding its own destinies newspapers business is to tell what it knows and how it feels To see for its readers but to speak only for itself wno MAKES EDITORIAL POLICY To what extent do outside in terests affect editorial policy Surprisingly little in the pioneer days We were not the case Many papers both Weeklyand daily were the mis tresses of political and economic factions kept on their editorial page andin their business offices But among the 800 weeklies and 90 dailies of the DOminion today most individual publishersare the also and it needed two rc is today its pride and onc

Orillia or Midland Advertisers are free to buy gspacc or not There is an occas lional attempt to influence news papcrs policy in this way Even single subscribers or groups of subscribers try at times to pres sure an editor But good news paper will not allow those sorts of influences to sway its decisions And no single advertiser can wield much influence Let us look for moment at the reasons why Take the Free Press Herald as an example =comcs from circulation sales of the paper at 5c per copy Another 12 comes from classified adver tisements of which we print ovcr laminer lot more Twontysix per cent comes from national advertis ing many hundreds of separate iadvertiscrs scattered all over the continent who last year bought in both the Examiner and the Free Press Herald over 400000 lines of space Just under one halfof our revpnue comes from over 400 different local advertisers Only in retail groupcould an as sociation of say 25 advertisers ex ert pressure and they have never tried it nor are they likely to The Free Press Herald and The Examiner each have over 12000 different customers more than perhaps any cther local business In that lies their strength and a1 so their ability to serve commun ity They are their communitys most effective binder Advertising is not venal influ ence on editorial policy It is lack of advertising that is the danger Wlcn advertising is totally lacking or insufficient then watch out Then if paper does not fail it is some one or some group who keeps it alive to serve special interests The valucdfree dom and independence of the pressdepend in no small measure on advertising support Advertis ing dollars buy impartiality not influence FREEDOM on was PRESS The newspaper has an addition 31 important role in thecommun ity It is the neilvspapers role by default because in many instances the public fails to understandthat it is theirs to protect refer to freedom of the press and the pro tection of that freedom The freedom of the press is your right as citizens not oursas pub lishers The continuance of that freedom depends solely on public Opinion often more money render their freedoms If news papers werc dependent as for example are radio stations on government licensing and governI ment controlled programs we would probably find soap operas replacing editorials vFeatures which could offend no ones poli gence would fill their pages You need not be reminded that in Germany and inother nations too freedom of theindividual died the day freedom of the press peri ished All of our citizenry would be prompt to defend any attack upon freedom of speech religion or as sembly But the throne of liberty is fourlegged and freedom of the press completes the structure Freedom of the press means freedom to print what it wills freedom to
