8 Editors on Headline Week Panel Soy
Negro Newspapers Will
Die In The Future

Is the Negro newspaper here to
live or die?" Three of five leading
Negro journalists said it will die, as
they discussed the future of Negro
newspapers in a panel last Monday
evening in Pape auditorium. The
panel was a part of Headliner Week
presented by the School of Journa
lism.
Howard H. Davis, General Mana.
ger Kansas City Call and Fletcher
p. Martin, City Editor Louisville
Defender, dissented from general
opinion stating that Negro news
papers will continue to live.
Charles H. Loeb, News Editor
Cleveland Call and Post William G
Mum, Managing editor, Pittsburgh
President, Norfolk Journal and
Courier and Thomas w. Young,
Guide felt that when the Negro
newspaper has served its purpose
that of instituting indignation it will
then cease to exist.
Loeb stated the Negro paper will
die because of changing times and
the gradual approach of indignation
He cited the many barriers to the
progress of the Negro press such as
labor unions and the Newspaper
Guild. According to Loeb there is
liberal treatment of racial news in
White papers and an increasing use
of Negro reporters by those papers.
Thus as civil rights increase there
will be less need for Negro news
papers.
William G. Num- said, when
America absorbs Negroes integra.
orally the Negro newspaper will
die" He further stated, America
is beginning to judge men on mer.
it rather than on color and though
civil rights are increasing we must
continue the struggle until all rights
are won.
Thomas w. Young, held that the
paper today inspires members of the
group by reporting news unreported
or distorted in White papers. No
where, he asserted the existence of
the Negro newspaper will last only
SO long as the Negro can cite in
justice to his group. When such is
no longer true there will be no Ne.
gro paper.
Fletcher p. Martin expressed a
desire to straddle the question rath.
er than give a point blank yes" OF
no, but in his talk he said, Il can
not see how the whole press can be
wiped out 1t will be unfortunate
if the Negro newspaper dies" Mar
tin added, he did feel the daily press
would absorb Negroes as readily as
some might think. 1t was his opinion
that self interest will help the Negro
press to live. The Negro press ac-
cording to Martin is a unifying pow
err and special pleader. 1t is justi
fled in a double standard society
Dowdal H. Davis forthrightly
stated, THE Negro press will live.
Nothing creative or worth.
while actually dies Reasons
previously stated for the death OF
the Negro newspaper are really rea'
sons for it's life"
All participants cited the inn
provements in the Negro newspaper
but admitted that there is still
is plenty room for further gain. Sew
eraI of the speakers pointed up the
fact that Negro newspapers are not
AS accurate as they could be and
are not self critical enough.
DR.. Lorenzo j. Greene, Social Sci
ence professor, served as moderator
on the panel. Willis Pursley, senior
in Journalism, preceded the speak
ers with a statement of the occasion.
