Speaker Declares
Unbiased Stories
To Be Essential
New , York Publisher Admits
That The Newspaper Has Lost
Some Of Its Importance
-
By Bob Perkins
Contending that an unbiased
newspaper is essential to our
democratic system; that if it
fails, the order itself will pass,
Arthur Hays Sulzberger, pub
lisher of the New York Times,
addressed the opening session
of the North Carolina Press in
stitute last night, in Hill Music
hall, on "Democracy and the
Press."
Sulzberger admitted that the
newspaper has lost some of its
influence, that the radio has di
vested it of a part of its impor
tance, and that people do not
believe all that they read in the
news columns.
Unprejudiced Story
But he held that the picture
with perspective still demands
an unprejudiced newspaper
story of what was said and what
happened.
"Actionfe are so numerous
and reactions so prompt in this
new world where communica
tion has eliminated space and
crystallized time into the pres
ent that man must have all the
assistance that an honest pres
entation of the news cah give.
Public Opinion
"No radio speech or newsreel,
no news broadcast can take the
place of a newspaper in per
forming this service. Only the
newspaper, gathering its re
ports from all the available news
sources and presenting those re
ports without bias and without
emotion can' provide the balance
and the perspective that are es
sential if public opinion is to be
truly informed and if the demo
cratic way of life is to survive."
Therefore Sulzberger holds
that while other factors have in
terfered with a certain type of
newspaper, that far from re
placing the unprejudiced one,
they have helped to stimulate
the demand for it.
