Passage
“The newspapers have taken the place of the Gita, the Bible and the Quran with the people. For them, the printed word is gospel truth. This fact throws a greater responsibility on the editors and newspapers.
Newspapers are a powerful influence. It is the duty of the editors to see that no false report or report likely to excite the public is published in their newspaper. The editors and their assistants have to be extra careful about the news they give and the manner in which they dress it. In a state of independence, it is practically impossible for governments to control the Press. It is the duty of the public to keep a strict watch on the newspapers and keep them on the right path. An enlightened public would refuse to patronize inflammatory or indecent newspapers.
Newspapers that indulge in untruth or exaggeration harm the cause they profess to espouse. I admit that there is enough in enough newspapers to warrant action. But my experience is that no amount of public criticism will affect the policy of newspapers which make their livelihood by such a policy. But I write this in no way to condone truths in newspapers. I am quite clear that if newspapers weighed every word that is printed therein, we should have a speedier removal of abuses whether in the States or elsewhere.
The superficiality, the one-sidedness, the inaccuracy and even dishonesty that have crept into modern journalism, continuously mislead honest men who want to see nothing but justice done.The sole aim of journalism should be service. The newspaper press is a great power, but just as an unchained torrent of water submerges whole country sides and devastates crops, even so an uncontrolled pen serves but to destroy. If the control is from without, it proves more poisonous than want of control. It can be profitable only when exercised from within. If this line of reasoning is correct, how many of the journals in the world would stand the test? But who would stop them, those that are useless? And who would be the judge? The useful and the useless must, like good and evil, go together, and man must make his choice.”
