The right of a newspaper to attract and hold readers ls restricted by nothing but consideration of pubUc welfare. The use a newspaper makes of the share ofpubllc attention It gains serves to determine Its sense of responsibility, which It shares with every member of Its staff. A journaUst who uses his power for any selfish or otherwise unworthy purpose Is faithless to a high trust. II Freedom of the Press. Freedom of the press ls to be guarded as a vital right of mankind. It is the unquestionable right to discuss whatever Is not explicitly forbidden by law, Including the wisdom of any restrictive statute. Ill Independence. Freedom from all obUgatlons except that of fidelity to the public Interest ls vital. 1. Promotion of any private Interest contrary to the general welfare, for whatever reason, ls not compatible with honest journalism. So- called news communications from private sources should not be published without public notice of their source or else substantiation of their claims tp value as news, both ln form and substance. 2. Partisanship ln editorial comment which knowingly departs f the truth does violence to the best spirit of American journaUsm; in the news columns It is subversive of a fundamental principle of the profession. IV Sincerity, Truthfulness, Accuracy. Good the foundation of all Journalism worthy of the name. 1. By every consideration of good faith a newspaper to be truthful. It ls not to be excused for lack of thoroughness or accuracy within Its control or failure to obtain command of these essential qualities. 2. Headlines should be fully warranted by the contents which they surmount. V Impartiality. Sound practice makes clear dlstlncUon between reports and expressions of opinion. News reports should be free from opinion or bias of any kind. This rule does not apply to so-called special articles unmistakably devoted to advocacy or characterized by a signature authorizing the writer's own conclusions and InterpretaUons. VI Fair Play, a*newspaper should not publish unofficial charges affecting reputation or moral character without opportunity given to " accused to be heard; right practice demands the giving of such opportunity In all cases of serious accusation outside judicial proceed- out sure warrant ofpubllc rights as distinguished from pubUc curiosity. 2. It Is the privilege, as It ls the duty, of a newspaper to make prompt and complete correction of Its own serious mistakes of fact or opinion, whatever their origin. V*t Decency. A newspaper cannot escape conviction of insincerity If while professing high moral purposes It suppUes Incentives to base conduct, such as are to be found ln details of crime and vice, publication of which ls not demonstrably for the general good. Lacking authority to enforce Its canons, the Journalism here represented can but express the hope that deliberate pandering to vicious'Instincts will encounter effective pubUc disapproval or yield to the Influence of a preponderant professional condemnation. h the reader Is K newspaper should i t Invade private rights or feelings Women will host voter signup The Fresno County League of election during registration.
