The Ethics of
The Newspaper World

Newspaper Week in California, Oct. 4
TO 9, will bring to the mind of the aver
age reader sooner or later the notorious
old falsehood, "You can't believe what
you read in the papers" Now, early in
the week we take the opportunity of eX
pre- ny the average newspaperman's
impatience with those who, namely, fall
back upon this time-worn phrase.
You can, 80 times out of one hundred,
believe what you read in the paper. The
reporter who deliberately falsifies
story on almost any newspaper in the
United States finds this out to his sor-
row. He is usually fired The one who
sends an untrue story into print through
error has enough trouble with his editor
and irate readers You can imagine what
happens to the fellow who allows a story
to go through, knowing it is untrue.
There is. of course, a margin of error
in all newspaper accounts. Any news
paper is a human organization, depend
ing more on the human being that the
machine. In any endeavOr where men and
women work at high speed all the time,
there is bound to be error. 1t is to be
wondered at that there is not more OF
it in the nations newspapers. The reason
there is not, of course, is that most news
paper people are trained to high de-
gree III the ellllCS VI JISlI pIO1SoSlOIi'
From the moment they go to work in
newspaper office, the one thing that is
continually dinned into their ears, their
brains and their consciousness is, "Ac-
Accuracy-Accuray.'
There is another reason the newspa-
pers can be believed. 1t is purely busi-
ness reason, measurable in dollars and
cents. The newspaper which deals in
inaccuracies and falsehoods-and there
have been one or two in the history of
iournalism-is short lived. Losing the
confidence of its readers, it also loses
its circulation and its advertising. With
out these, no newspaper can exist. Good
business, where newspaper is concern
ed. is founded on character. Character,
in turn, is founded upon truth.
1t is part of the service newspaper
gives its community to tell the truth
about what is happening in that commu-
nifty, and in the world. That is, in short,
the principal ambition of the Imperial
Valley Press and The Morning Post,
along with most other newspapers of
the nation.
