of the American Society of News
paper Editors, noted five major
changes in newspapers since 1910.
He listed them as:
1. More than 1000 daily news
papers have gone out of business in
this country.
2. Newspapers have become big
business.
8. Newspapers have assumed a
detached perspective.
a. Newspapers are no longer
alone as media in mass communica-
ton.
S. Newspapers are in critical
need of recruiting new and worthy
talent.
Mr.. Lindstrom said the changing
role of the American newspaper
was AFFECTED by many factors, in
Guiding the government drifting
farther away from the people"
Mr.. Lindstrom urged the press
to use its influence and not power
in leading the people. He added:
"How do we expect the American
people to meet responsibilities of
world leadership when we leave
them in intense ignorance of the af-
fairs of the world and its people? ?"
Newspapers use "crisis news" he
said But, there will be less crisis
news if we devote some space to
the kind of news which says that
foreign countries are inhabited by
human beings"
Commenting on the journalism
profession, Mr.. Lindstrom said:
al would like to see newspaper so
demanding of its recruits with re-
gard to education, apprenticeship,
and regimen that only men of dedi-
Gated fiber could aspire to the
priesthood of journalistic service"
Wallace Carroll, news editor of
the Washington bureau of the New
York Times, said in another speech
that newspapers must embark upon
a new concept of journalism turned
to the growing needs of an advanc-
ing world.
He said newspapers have failed
to progress rapidly enough to in
sure a supply of information nee
essary to maintain an enlightened
citizenry. He said this was neces-
sary to the survival of democracy
itself.
Newspapers still are operating
in the "horse and buggy days of
journalism" he said.
Mr.. Carroll spoke at the con-
vention banquet of the association.
The banquet was sponsored by the
Chicago Newspaper Publishers AS
ISOLATION and Kappa Tau, national
honorary journalism fraternity.
Unless newspapers can be
brought closer to the lives of their
readers, a good many newspapers
may die" he declared.
And more serious than this, un-
less we get better newspapers in
America it is questionable whether
democracy can survive" said Mr..
Carroll.
