Show Lauds Weekly newspapers For Part in Utah Life Editors and publishers of weekly week-ly newspapers in Utah were lauded laud-ed recently in a state wide radio program broacast over KSL, Salt Lake City and KSUB, Cedar City, under sponsorship of the Utah Copper Division of Kennecott Copper Cop-per Co. The radio program entitled, "This Business of Farming" devoted devot-ed its commercial to praising the activities of the weekly newspaper The commercial reads: We hear a lot of talk these days about freedom from want, freedom from fear and other freedoms free-doms as outlined in the Constitution Constitu-tion of the United States. One of the most important freedoms we hear about is freedom of the press. All in all a newspaper is no better nor no worse than the American public wants is to be. If you like a newspaper you buy it. Undoubtedly Undoubt-edly you are influenced by its writers, and its advertisers. If you don't like it, then you buy another an-other newspaper. Perhaps the best read of all newspapers are the small town weeklies. Right here in Utah we have some 63 weekly newspapers devoted to the reporting report-ing of news in their areas. Here a cross section of America unfolds in the four to eight or more pages of newsprint which reaches its readers through the mails the latter lat-ter part of each week. In the week ly newspapers are told the joys of a new family arrival, the sorrow of the passing of a loved one, and the general recounting of the activities ac-tivities of your neighbors and friends fri-ends that the large newspapers do not print. Here in the weekly press are the advertisements of garages, the shoe repairman, of the general storeman, the barber shop and the nationally known products. Yes, everyone owes much to the weekly newspapers of America, and the 4300 members of the Utah Copper family take pride in recognizing the merits of the editors and publishers of the Utah weekly newspapers, who have done much to make life better, richer, and helpvkeep all of us informed." |
