Aid Isolated Instances Berry Crop on Hill i BY EDWIN EMERY University of Minnestota School of journalism A The slogan adopted for the of 1949 National NewsFreedom Goto paper Week Where the Newspaper Goes should be readily endorsed by the American newspaper reader. He or she does not need to be reminded that from colonial days, the traditions of free democratic government and of a free press have developed side by side in the United States. There should be no need to point out one again the contrast between the free flow of news and opinion here and the complete control of communication and thought in a totalitarian state. There is, however apparently a need to point out one continuing danger to the maintenance of a free press. American newpapers, protected by their constitutional guarantee, rightly have resisted efforts to control their freedom through the use of censorship the use of specially conceived taxation measures, the arbitrary use of judicial authority, and the use of the other legislative restrictions unwisely made. But critis of the press have complained that newpapers have plead ed freedom of the press as a means of escaping legitimate responsibilities to society. This criticism, while valid in certain isolated instances, is rendered invalid when it is applied as it usually is to the press as a whole. , American newpapers, as a group expect to conduct their businesses within the general pattern of national life. They only attempt to point out that the newsparer is more than business it is a vital social institution upon which freedom depends. Should the business be destroyed the institution also is lost The newspapers problem of maintaining economic stability in the face of many pressures is well expressed by Dr. J. Edward Gerald, professor in the University of Minnesota School of Journalism, who warns in his book, The Press and the Constitution'. Laws passed in the name of the greatest good for the greatest number of citizens sooner or later must be executed not by the cours or by the legislatures, but by the manage ment of the business in which the individual vitizen is employed. If that business cannot carry the added burden, it must fail, and other employment must be found for the displaced persons. American newspaperman ask no special favors for themselves with such a warning. They do ask that they be given public support in their ligitimate efforts to preserve the econimic stability of the newspaper as a bulwark of the freedom.

Last year marked the first annual award of the Newspaper Association Managers trophy to the newspaper doing the best job of observing the week. A handsome silver plaque reproducing the emblem of the week will again be awarded to the newspaper most fully utilizing the facilities at hand during the 1949 observance. Many unthinking persons and a small, group that would actually delight in seeing freedom of the press destroyed in America are ready and waiting to magnify any favorable incidents and conditions within the newspeper industry. Predictions and forecasts ?rior to last years national election, discovery of a number of newspa-e- r men in the midwest who were feeding at the public trough, all have added fuel to the propaganda mills of the forces eager to disrupt and discredit the use of our freedoms, particularly freedom of the press. National Newspaper Week affords every publisher an excellent opportunity to take some of his own medicine, to patronize his own industry and otherwise avail himself of the services of his own vehicle in reaching and selling his customers. The newspapers industry and its services to its community can never be nor promoted too much. These forces should be employed for the promotion and selling of the newspaper as a vehicle for community communication as well as for merchandising. National Newspaper Week is designed for this purpose. Freedom Goes Where the Newspaper Goes is the slogan for this years observance. This slogan affords a multitude of opportunities in the American system and the American way of life with tieing-iFreedoms system and the American way of the vehicle for well-organiz- over-emphasize- d n perpetuating and regenerating these liberties.
