What My Daily Newspaper
Means To Me.
Each day the thought that | am
an American is brought forcefully
to my mind. Present also is the
knowledge that am a citizen of
the greatest Democracy in the
world. These thoughts enter my
mind when my daily newspaper is
delivered, courteously and timely.
giving me the current news of the
world on an unbiased opinion basis.
This to me is the fundamental
principle on which our way of life
Is based - freedom of the press.
Freedom of speech is on a more
personal basis and is not observed
as freely as freedom of the press.
Thru the media of radio and
television thousands of persons
from coast to coast receive daily
broadcasts and current news items.
However, these cannot compare.
even In a small way, to the millions
Of printed words that are distribut.
ed daily to the people of the United
States via the newspaper.
"Other media are not always &C.
cessible to everyone whereas the
daily newspaper is delivered in all
kinds of weather and to families in
remote spots whose link with the
rest Of the world is restricted ex.
cept for the newspaper.
"As one reads the daily news.
paper he finds that free enterprise.
via the classified advertisement
section, Is highly stressed. The full
political picture, either good or
bad, is presented on a level fully
understandable by the common
man.
freedom of religion is also
found as men of different faith

religion as taught from their pull.

worship. The current financial sta.
tus OF small companies, corpora
tons, this country as a whole, other
countries. ETC., is ever present.
"For the children can be found

daily worldwide report on sports
of all kinds; for the wife a course
In beauty aids, cosmetics, cooking,

chores about the house, etc. For

Possibly the greatest asset of
the daily newspaper is its low cost,
making it available to everyone.
Reading the daily newspaper, OBJ
serving the progress of the world
and evaluating fully the mistakes
common to any private enterprise,
q man or woman, boy or girl, can
receive well rounded education.
