> Almost every newspaper is closely
3 identified with the community in
f which it is published. The welfare of
i the manufacturers, the merchants, \
. the transportation companies and
3 the citizens, individually and collecj
tively. Is a matter of much moment
I to the section, and, incldentaly, to
9 the newspaper.
9 Of course, this situation is more
1 or less divergent when the raagniC
tude of newspapers are taken into *
l consideration, but this is hardly true
- of the average newspaper, whose
, clientele reside chiefly in the ter?
ritory within 100 miles of its place
t! of publication; tlic citizens or such
r! territory being Its supporters and
,! readers.
When this is narrowed down to
' even a smaller ter*i'.ory, the interest
1 becomes more concentrated and reade
ers know others read; business men
mix with other business men who
, do business with the paper; and.
I finally, even social and religious
matters become closely allied affairs
' in which all are jointly interested.
This typifies tue so-called country
weekly, and applies with considerable
force to many of the dailies of
a the cities of this section. But a mida
die Georgia weekly that has meande
i ered down lanes of ease, and ,pos- .
- sibly, across fields of plenty unknown
to the daily journalist, is up in arms
against the other side of the situation
ami wants to know, "What do
you do for v-.?ur paper?"
Undoubtedly, a very pointed and
4 timely question. Most generally the
t average subscriber who pavs hiB subscription
only when the notion Impels
him, naturally rises up in indigc
nation and tauntingly states that
i.! the newspaper is none o? his, and
s| therefore of little concern to hint, all
s of which may or may not be true,
s and most generally is not true.
e There are some taiags a newspaper
does for a city, <* ounty and a
1 state, also for individuals, which all
" could do without easily, just as .
n much as so many get along without
telephone, automobiles, waterworks
s and other modern conveniences. But
it is HU'fPtpninc in enrrnnr (a I. .i-a
' the story of a life told in the ever "
lasting pages of print; it is Joyful
11 to have the tidings of gladness
* spread abroad when joy reigns
1 supreme on some great occasion. It
* is rather pleasing to have your distinction
recorded and your honors
3 heralded to the fom?,corners of earth
' so to speak, when the public acr
claims you great, for one cause or an ^ j
* other.
? ~ And it is doubly pleasing to be
able to enlist the aid of the news- * j
t
paper in assisting you in securing
some coveted prize, in helping you
to win a goal. But. after all, there
| is another test, one that borders on
the fitness of eternal things in which
you are concerned, when scandal
f raps loud and long, and some would
delight to taunt you, or some one In
0
whom you are vitally interested,
with publication of the facts to the
world. It is in cases like these the
^ newspaper steps in and raises a
8 shield that protects the innocent
1 from suffering; that extends mercy,
that endeavors to prove a factor in
e healing wounded humanity and raia
' lug higher the standards of life.
n And in return what do you do? It
' is a fitting question; it applies to
" every community. Where is your
n gratefulness? What act have you
1 done, what words ha\o you spoken
' to repay?
