The following squib from the
Franklin Evening Ne,Os gets there
with both feet "Reporters are often
blamed for saying too much, whereas
what they actually do say is but a
drop 10 the bucket of what they are
told, but do not repeat. Everybody
with an AK to grind, an enemy to dis
parage, or an animosity to crafty,
pours his tale into the scribe's ear,
with the hope that the same will be
published at the risk of the paper.
If every bit Of information that leaks
into a newspaper Office should be
printed, you would see lively times.
Ability in editing the local depart.
ment of paper consists in knowing
what to exclude"
