The
Local
Paper
L'
IRE
POLITICIANS,
public
servants,
school
teachers
and
such
people,
the
press
is
constant-j
ly
in
the
public
eye.
The
Daily
News,
for
instance,
has
several
thousand
critical
observers
every
day
ready
to
pull
us
apart
for
something
oi;-other.
Observers
are
always
more
inclined'
to
be
condemnatory
than
appreciative.
They
are
more
vocal
about
the
things
they
do,
not
like
than
what
(hey
might
happen
to
like.
It
is
human
nature
to
take
for-granted
the
things
that
ai;e
good,
correct
and
pleasing
and
express
ourselves
more
freely
about
things
which
may
be
unsatisfactory
or
unpleasant.
Be
that,
as
it
may,
we
are
always
glad
to
hear
he
complaints
and.
what
people
may
think
our
iaul.ts
are
so
that
we
may
consider
them
and
make
impro.vementa
where
possible
with,
a
view
to,
giving
better
satisfaction
all
around..
Therefore,
it
was
interesting,
for
us.
to
hear
what
the
"citizens'
"
forum
in.
the.
Civic-
Centre
had
to
say
about
us
Tuesday
oven
though
that.
f,orum
might
be
one-sidedly
"biased
in
favor
of
one
line
of
political
and
Qconorhic.
though.
Nor.
do
we
want
to,
blame
the,
people,
who
take,
part
in
the
"citizens'
"
forum,
for;,
that
but
would:
rather
compliment
them
for
taking
ji
continued
and
active
interest
in
public
questions
jvhen
people
of
some
other
colors
of
political
bought
are,
too,
dow.nright
apathetic,,
self-centred
or,
indolent
to,
dp,
so..
Maybe,
even,
it
was
our
own
fault
that
we
wee
not,
present
at
the
forum.
Tuesr
day
night
when
we
were
discussed
although,
in
fairness
to
ourselyes,
we
w,ere
not
favored
with
being
warned
about
what
was
coming
up
nor,
vypre
e
invited,
by
those,
having
charge
of,
t,he
forum
to
take,
part
and'
round;
out
the
discussion
by
defending
our
own
cause.
However,
w,e
were,
criticized
generally
and
specifically
so
a
few
observations
in
explanation
might
be
appropriate,
at
this
time
and.
place..
;
In
the
first
place,
as
far-
as
the
influence
of
advertisers
on,
our-
reportorial
work
or
editorial
op-,
jnions.
is
concernedi
"it
might
as
.well
be
said
at
the
outset,
for,
w,Q
have;
no
fear
of
contradiction,
that,
here
in
Prince
Rupert,
thera
has
seldom
been
pressure
brought
to
bear
directly
or
indirectly
by
any
advrtiser
upon
us
to
express
ourselves
on
his
behalf;
Or
any
of
b
b.eliefs.by
reason
of
the
business-he
has
'given
us.
There,
is,
no,
doubt,
a
belief
held,
by
some,
uninformed
fanatics,
pf
certain
political
or
economic
beliefs
that
the.
"capitalistic,
press"
exerts,
some
insidious
and
nefarious,
control
over
those,
who
eerve
it,.
pf
artieularjy
in.
the.
editorial
departments.
Of
course
whence,
hear
that
kind.
of.
talk,
we
know-from
the
start
that,
those-who
emit
it
are
ignorant
of
the
facts
and:
our
only
concern
is
that
their-Valorizing
propaganda
might
baye
some,
effect
uppn,
others,,
particularly
if
we
never
even
takjj
triQ;
trouble,
to,
deny
sucri,
legend;
ourselves,
Here
in
Prince
Rupert,,
as,
far
as.
advertising
is,
concerned,-
we
can
assure,
our-
readers,
that'
there-
is.
a
minimum,
pf
ef
f.et
on,
what
we-
may
do
or-
say
in
bur
news
and;
editorial,
columns.
Threats
or
suggestions
of
that
kind
might
come
a.t
times
but
they
lire
never
respected.
But
our
advertisers,
in
Prince.
Rupert,
are
ah
exceptionally
upright
and
respectable
lot
after
all
and
seldom
try
anything
like
that.
On
the
other
hand,
we
will,
n.ot
say
that
we
have
hot
had.
aggrieved
advertisers
whose
business,,
we
lost
because
we
might
have
published,
something
to
offend
them.
We
have
often
wondered
if
some
of
those
w,ho:
essay
to
question
the
freedom
of;
the
"capitalistic."
nrss
have
ever
thought
of
how,
tfl
ree"'
either-
in,
pjrjpsentation
of
"news"'
or
editorial,
comment
'might
b
the
press
that
caters
more-
especially
to,
their
own
particular
views.
To
us
it
has
been
patently
apparent
for
a
long
time
that
they
have
not
been,
sojfree
for
impartial
expression..
S
So
much
then,
for
the
opinion,
that
the
local
press
is
"'biased
in
favoi;
pf
groups
of
individuals,"
abatement
which
is
easy
to
make.
in.
uninformed
generality
but
w.hich,
we
challenge
any
of
our
critics
throve
specifically.
As
for
the
Daily
N.ews
itself;
we
w.ould;
like
to
be.
shpwa
any
paper
in
the
coun-!
try
which
is
fairer,
less
biased
or
more,
generous
in-its
news
presentation
than
we.
and
that
goes
for
the.
"socialists"-
as.
well
as
the
"capitalists."
The
opinion
was
expressed
by
some
of
our
friends
at
the
fruin,
that
the
local,
press
carried
aix
insufficient
cpyerage
of
news
of
world-wide
importance.
As-
fpr-tha.t
opinion
we.
might
say
that
thV
cost
of
bringing
outside
news
to
the
people
of
Prince
Rupert
in
fees
and
toljs
constitutes
a"
very
considerable
proportion,
of
our
overhead
in
running
tKIs.
paper,
the.
major
expense
in
which
is
involved
intthe
maintaining
of-
a
quite
substantial
payroll
of
viry
respectably
paid
staff
including
a
completely
UTiipnized
mechanical,
department.
Only
recently,,
we
had,
endeavoured,
to
materially
increase
our
coverage
of
w.orid
news,
but
were
prevented
from
doing
so
by
the
excessive
cost
of
leasing
a
telegraph
wire
the
same
difficulty
which
our
government-operated
radio
station
is
up
against.

After

the
local

is.
the
only
avenue
of
giving
local,
news
whereas,
other
media
make
surfeit
the
dissemination,
of
news
and
views,
of
"worldwide

We

"neighborly

service,
even
at
the
risk
of
further
criticism,
from,
the
students
and
Intense
followers
of
world
affairs.
Of
course,
the
complaint
that
we,
"carry
items
of
no;
interest
to
the
majority
of
local
people"
is.
an
ancient
chestnut,
"Well,
there's
nothing

the
paper
tonight"
is
the.
old
remark
that
we
all
say
after
Derusing,
the
paper
which
we
miss
so
much
if
the.
newsboy
falls
to
call
or
for
some
other
reason
we
do,
not
get
it.
Naturally,
we
try
to
make
our
paper,
as.
Interesting
as
possible
to
as
many
people
as
we
can;
but
everyone,
must
know
that
it.
is.
impossible,
to

everybody
in
evea-ythlna

we
will
just
go,
on.
trying,
to.
pro

something
of
interest
to
everybody
with.
the.
hope
that
the
percentage
of
general
interest
will
be
as
great
as
possible.
In.
this
chat
with
our
readers,
which
the
comments
and
criticisms
of
the
forum
inspired,
we.
have
not
endeavoured
to
discuss
the
economic
aspects
of
running
a
dally
newspaper
in
a
comparatively
small,
city,
at
reasonable
cost
to
our
readers
and
