Show GETTING NEWS VERSUS NOT GETTING IT On Sunday morning last The Tribune Trib-une printed an exclusive news story to the effect that a family of seven children chil-dren neglected nnd destitute far from any neighbors were suffering for thm necessities of life In the remote timber region of Clallnm county Washington their father had drowned and their mother died of privations and was burled by the children at the threshold of the hovel wherein they found shelter shel-ter The next day two Indies of this city called In The Tribune ofllcc for further Information fearing that the children might he the offspring of their sister Mrs Ruth Vale Townes housed ho-used to live here Subsequently another an-other sister Mrs Anna Saunders of No 117 North Seventh West street the first were Mrs Sarah Moore of No 117 North Seventh West and Mrs Ce celia Hall of No C5i West South Temple Tem-ple called on the same errand The Tribune at once wired to the nearest place of telegraph connection and finally located the orIgin of the story succeeding on Wednesday evenIng even-Ing In getting the facts The children were not those of Mrs Townes but of a Mrs Johnson and at the same time II was stated that they were being well cared for These facts were given yesterday morning In The Tribune But It seems that the Herald preferred to give a yellow yel-low turn to the story rather than to get and print the facts It had a long scurehead article on the Hrst page reciting re-citing the fears of the Salt Lake ladles and magnifying the whole matter Into a local l sensation at the same time stating that whether anything has been done to alleviate the sufferings of tho orphans or not Is not known here It Is a striking example of the difference dif-ference In methods pursued by the two papers The Tribune could have printed the fears of the Salt Lake ladles on I Tuesday morning but preferred to get the facts the Herald look no steps to I gel the facts but printed the fears on Friday morning It Is a typical instance in-stance of what happens constantly in less striking form and illustrates the contrast between conscientious news getting and Irresponsible haphazard recklessness |
