Students Dress Down
Nations Negro Press

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - The
nations Negro press got a good
dressing down last week in a poll
taken among students here at Lin
coin university.
Most Of the critics found the
newspapers laying too much stress
on the wretched lot Of the Negro,
others deplored the sensationalism.
The few favorable comments
pointed out that the Negro press
carried news ignored by the white
press and that, under the circum-
stances" it was doing a service.
Said one left-handed cOmpli.
ment, "It couldn't do any better,
with the kind Of public it has"
Other adverse comments:
"They should not talk so much
about prejudice. They emphasize
bad qualities Of the white man in
stead of the good. All bad things
make headlines, and good things
are placed in the background"
They are a letdown to the Ne
gro race. Negro papers are scan
dal sheets"

it and must not forget it,"
THE press is rotten. II gives
trite news which doesn't mean any
thing. 1t plays up prejudice, soci-
aliZing with other races, scream
ing headlines"
A hopeful postscript came from
young Mamie Ruth Butler, winner
Of the first Abbott journalism
scholarship, who conducted the
poll, Need for a change is ap-
parent, and some change is bound
to take place. Not a drastic, sud
den change, but one which will
come through careful thought and
planning. Training in journalism
can do this indirectly, but not alone,
for the journalist must have the
support Of his public most Of all.
THE education Of the public to
accept and read only the best re-
porting is one Of the jobs facing
the journalist. Unless the public
is discriminating in it's reading
unless it fully appreciates the eff
forts Of the journalist to promote,
educate, fight, inform, and enter
tain. there can be no advancement
in the Negro press.
THE journalist and the public
must quickly realize there is no
Negro world, therefore no Negro
news, in the strict sense. What
ever happens to the Negro has a
bearing on the happenings of the
world and vice versa.
THE journalist must not write
for a Negro public, but for the
American public in which he is
first Of all an American citizen D."
The ideal Of justice for all will
not be living reality so long as
the spirit of hate, hypocrisy, in
tolerance and fear-abiding in the
hearts Of some Americans-re-
mains. ATTY Gen. Tom Clark,
