society ought to be obvious.
ITO live effectively in the
age of the satellite is to live

IF the governmental trends
Of recent years are allowed to
continue, we will finA ourselves
exercising an incredible edi-
torial skill of saying less and
less to more and more readers. "
Mr.. Eyerly charted this course
for editors:
First, we must maintain the
lively mind and the inquiring
look, both collectively and as
individuals. in our own COM

Second. we must participate
as individuals and as a group
in every collective action to IA
cilitate the reporting. the
editing. the illustration and the
projection of meaningful news
to our constituents.
Third. we must individually
and collectively give our ener-
gies to the press right to ex-
anime government at all levels,
and we must do it in our own
city rooms and not limit this
exercise to yearly meetings Of
editorial societies."
