NEWSPAPER REPORTERS.
A Defense OF Their Fair Mindedness
Scrupulous Care. Reliability Etc-
(Phila1elphia Times.)

very common error Is prevalent
that the work OF reporters, given IN
newspapers. as a rule, Is not entitieo
to respect or credence. 1t Is seneraiy
assumed that the reporter writes s
chiefly4or wholly to make a sensation
or in some way interest readers with
out regard to facts, while just the re-
verse is the truth in all reputable
newspaper establishments.
It is safe to assume that the state
ment of reporters given in the lead
ing reputable journals of the country
are quite as truthful as are the Sener-
al statements from the pulpit when the
minister gets outside of strictly relYSl-
Gus teachings, and very much more
truthful than are the public express
sions OF most II not all, Of the lead
ing professions. With very few eXcep-
lions the management OF our leading
daily newspapers enforce truthfulness
and fairness as the supreme attributes
for newspaper writer, and yet 1t Is
common for all who are displeased
with any reportorial statement to say
that Its a mere newspaper story
u 1t is true that there are a few con-
spicuouG exceptions to the rule that
governs the reputable newspapers OF
the country.
Not only are the managers of our
leading newspapers entitled to great
credit for the scrupulous care they en-
pondents to present the truth with as
exact fairness as is possible. but the
public little know the ceaSeleSS care
that is exercised in every reputable
newspaper Office to prevent the publ
cation Of even the truth when 1t
would be more harmful to publish than
4 to suppress 1t. There is not a week
indeed hardly q day, tina tthc newspn-
pers Of this city do not suppress the
facts proper for public Information
which would make a most Interesting
story solely because i: would bring u
