Your Home-Town Newspaper
The Journal, along with 9,000 other weeklies in the
nation, is observing National Newspaper Week, which
began Oct. 15. It gives us an opportunity to “toot our
own horn” and at the same time inform our readers of
some of our problems, aims and ambitions.
This year’s slogan “Your
Newspaper — Heritage of
Truth, Frontier of Freedom,”
expresses our aim for any
year. We have tried to keep
our reporting factual but
have felt free to take an edi
torial stand on all issues of
vital importance to our town
and community.
It hasn’t been clear to all
readers that the editorial
page is where we express
our opinions. These may be right or wrong — you may
agree or disagree with the stand we take — but if they
tend to make our readers think, they may lead to proper
action. That is their purpose.
This page is also open to our readers to express their
opinions as long as they are signed, not libelous, slander
ous and in good taste. We are the sole judge of what we
will print but have seldom failed to use all letters sub
mitted. We welcome more of them.
We have been criticized for not printing enough hard
news, amusing news, or enough society or sports. We
have also been criticized for printing too much of each of
them. No one will ever be completely satisfied with any
newspaper. But the people who are more dissatisfied
than anyone else are those who put it out.
They cringe at a typographical error, moan when a
story is missed and perhaps swear a little when there is
not room enough to cover, in detail, an important meet
ing of the city council and important legislation being
considered by our state legislature.
Their aim is to get more news, more pictures, better
spelling, better writing and more objective, interpretive
reporting. They are never satisfied with having to com
promise their desires with what is possible.
We would like publicly to offer our thanks to our
loyal, efficient staff; our rural correspondents; our mer
chants, whose advertising supports the paper; and all
others who have contributed to the success of the Jour
nal for the past two and one-half years.
May we remind you this is your papier and ask that
you feel free to offer constructive criticism. This is the
only way we can determine your desires and make im
provement.
