The Republican Has
IA Plus Rating

The Republican was adjudged one
Of the Best Weekly Newspapers in
America" in June. 1948, by the Com
munity Research Bureau, which at
that time completed an analysis OF
the weekly newspapers of the state
for American Weekly Newspaper
Publishers Council.
1t was given a rating of "AAA
plus" the highest rating given any
weekly newspaper n the United
States, after a careful impartial
analysis of this newspaper along
with other weekly newspapers Of the
state.
The newspaper was rated by an APP
proved formula which considered four
basic quality factors of the news
papers. Local news and editorial con-
tent were evaluated as an indication
of potential reader interest. The vol
ume Of local advertising was meas
ured to show acceptance of local adj
vertisers. The newspapers circulation
was weighed for accuracy and in
cluded in the analysis as it indicates
the coverage and acceptance by local
people.
Only ten other newspapers in the
State were given the ga plus rating,
and they were listed in the larger
towns Of Towson, Bel Air, Ellicott
City, Chestertown, Hyattsville, Silver
Spring, Easton and Salisbury.
Members of the newspaper staff
make every effort, from week to week,
to give their readers the best paper
possible, with thorough coverage of
important news events, editorial com
ment on current topics, and a good
coverage of advertising of local bust
ness people and national items.

Republican a Member
Circulation Audit
Bureau Since 1916
Advertisers Assured of Exact
Amount of Distribution Each
Week

The Republican has been member
national cooperative association OF
over $500 publishers, advertisers and
advertising agencies, since June, 1916.
Every six months since that time
an audited report of the circulation
figures of this paper have been re-
leased by the bureau which gives an
accredited rating of the number of
paid subscribers.
Since that time advertisers have
been assured that when they buy adj
vertising space in The Republican,
they can know exactly how many peo-
pie their message goes to, where they
live, and the fact that they are in
terested readers of the newspaper be-
cause they are paid up subscribers.
The audits show that subscriptions
were obtained through a desire on
the part of the subscribers; that there
are no premium offers, no contests
with prizes offered, no combinations
with other publications, and no special
reduced prices, with exception of
those in the armed forces and minis
tiers of the gospel.
The Republican has shown steady
increase in circulation over the past
years. Our present accredited rating
is 1906, as of February 1, with our
weekly press run now reaching 1000
copies.
At the completion of the two year
period ending March 81, 1850, at
which time we had total net paid
of around 3,400, n breakdown
showed that over $500 of these went
to people in Maryland, around 200 to
Pennsylvania, around $50 to West
Virginia, and about $50 to all other
states.

a few cases of type, battered but

permit and strong, determined will

rett County news led to the founding
and continued publication of the
county's now leading newspaper
The Republican.
On Saturday morning, March 3,
1877, Captain James A. Hayden rolled
out the first edition in hopes that it
would become "a permanent institu-
ton" in the county.
Captain Hayden, or rather Major
Hayden for he brevetted a major for
gallant conduct in the battle of the
Wilderness, came to Oakland in 1873
as foreman of the Garrett County
Herald. He was born in Smithfield,
Pa, and during the Civil War com

The Republican for thirteen years be-

the time.

Maryland, issued his first newspaper
on July IL, 1890, his 21st birthday

Newsmen Protected
From Disclosing Name
Of Information Source

Newspapermen of Maryland hold a
distinctive position among members
of the same profession in other
states.
They are among the few who can
not be compelled to disclose the
source of information for their news,
whether it be on the witness stand,
before legislative investigators, be-
fore a grand jury, or, in fact, any
where.
In other words, Maryland news
papermen cannot be forced to break
the confidence you have entrusted to
them when giving a tip on a story
and wish to have your name with
held. They cannot be charged with
contempt of court or the like for re-
fusing to reveal your name, even
though the story might incriminate
you.
Such law gives newspaper a
tremendous advantage in exposing
corruption and felonies that might re-
main hidden because the informer
fears the consequences of being made
known
Too few citizens, including some
newspapermen, however, have never
heard of this protective act. Scores
of letters signed simply anonymous
pour into The Republican as evidence
of its unfamiliarity. These letters are
promptly tossed into the waste
basket, and rightly so.
A newspaper must have authority
for statements it prints. Libel dam
ages could ruin it if it spoke with
out fact. 1t must know how reliable
the informer is, and investigate on
its own. 1t will print the story if the
facts are substantiated and then bear
the consequences entirely by itself
Maryland was the first state of the
Republic to give such protection to
you and newsmen. The law was
passed in 1889 and six or eight states
have since followed suit in some
measure.
Read it for yourself, presented
word for word from Flack's Ammo
tated Code of Maryland, 1899, Section
2 of Article 35:
E. mo person engaged in, con-
nected with or employed on
newspaper or journal shall be
compelled to disclose, in any
legal proceeding or trial or be-
fore any committee of the legis-
lature or elsewhere, the source
of any news or information pro-
cured or obtained by him for and
published in the newspaper on
and in which he is engaged, con-
nected with or employed"
