OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY OF KLAMATH FALLS
"Let us have faith that right makes might, and
in that faith let tis to the end dare to do our
duty as xce understand it" Abraham Lincoln
PUBLIC CAN'T BE LED OR DRIVEN
Many editors constantly harrangue themselves, and
whomever they can find to Iuten, on their duty towards
the public.
( "We must be the vanguard of civilization," thev say,
'forever leading the ignorant into paths of wisdom and
virtue, and steering them away from damnation pitfalls."
Melville F. Ferguson, managing editor of the Phila
delphia Record, sees his duty rather differently, and said
so in an interview this week.
"We cannot lead the public," Mr. Ferguson said.
''And we cannot drive them. We can meet their demands
in moderation.
"A newspaper, quite unlike a preacher, must give
rthe public what it wants, within the limits of decency.
If a newspaper becomes too ardent a preacher of what
the public does not want, its circulation is apt to walk
out, and leave it preaching to empty seats.
"But. in catering to the public's sense of humor, a
vulgar thing at best, and the public's craving for sensa
tion, we can exclude from publication the more nauseating
of scandals, and feel, thereby, we have made some effort
to curb, if not drive or lead.
"In other words, the public wants crime news. A
newspaper must supply this demand, but need not give it
out in alopaihic docs. We need nut exploit crime and
stick it out as a bargain attraction in the newspaper
front windows."
If the public, as a mass, cannot be led. Mr. Ferguson
does not despair of his reporters, and he believes an
editor's duty is so to control his staff that it produces a
newspaper that is a fair, accurate, undistorted mirror of
ita community.
Thus he has drawn up a code of reportorial ethics
for the Record, the enforcement of which he makes his
special task. Of 25 rules which make up the code, the
following five are underscored :
"Get both sides of your story. When the circum
stances reflect upon any accessible individual or group
learn what is to be said in explanation or defense. Fair
ness and justice demand it.
"Be accurate. Remember that in most cases the
story you write will be read by some people who have
tirst-hand knowledge of some of the facts. They will
be quick to detect inaccuracies, and to characterize the
paper as unreliable if it prints statements at variance with
their own observations.
"Keep your personal opinions, or the supposed opin
ions of the paper, out of your story. Stick to facts In
terpretations and comment belong in the editorial columns
'Avoid ridicule except when it is conveyed by a plain
recital of facts. Nothing makes enemies more quickly
and one enemy of thj paper exerts more influence than
ten friends.
"Never write a story that you cannot successfully
defend when an irate reader comes to the office to de
mand a retraction. If you keep this rule strictly in mind
all the lime you will keep out of libel suits."
o
About the best thing to take a little of, for your
Htomach's sake, is precaution.
