Editorials and News

1t should become the duty
of every newspaper reader to
know and recognize the diff
ference between editorials
and news stories. Every
newspaper provides a column
in which to express its own
opinions. Here and only here
can a newspaper white subjec-
tively-advocate one project
or discourage another up
hold one movement and fight
another-or in any way eX-
press an opinion. A news
story is straight and unbiased
news, presented as a report of
something happened or to
happen. A NEWS STORY IS
NOT AN EDITORIAL OPIN-
ION. Therefore, because a
story appears on the front
page Of the Smyrna Times, it
does not necessarily mean
that the Times ADVOCATES
the news in that story, nor
does it mean that the Times
is opposed. The opinion of
others is news; our opinions
are editorials.
