Editorial Newspapers Are Freedom's Key Your newspaper is freedoms key to better living. It unlocks the door to a richer life for everyone. , In this country the concepts of a free press and a free society developed together. Because it is free the American newspaper has been able to broaden its activities and to meet new demands as the nation has grown. Today the newspaper fulfills a myriad of functions. Homemakers pages contain helpful facts. Women read these pages to lears how to prepare a delicious meal or remove an ink spot from a carpet. The advertiser promotes his products in a field of open competition. The more he advertises the more he sells and the more he sells, the lower he can reduce prices. Factories, production and payrolls grow. Bigger payrolls result in more prosperous communities and a stronger nation. News columns report with comparative objectivity on the activities of the great, near great and the common people, the meetings, conventions, speeches and interviews. Readers learn who is sick, who died, who was born, who married, who was divorced, who took his own life, who was hurt in an accident, the tolls of disaster and of the eternal efforts of the wrongdoer and his nemesis, the lawman. and Newspapers scrutinize courts, the law, politics, elections electorate. arouse the sometimes and inform government.
