NOME'S NEWS SERVICE
Vt the maun meeting Monday night
the remarks of one of the speakers
concerning the news service of the
local papers, while tempered in tone
and of a reflective rather than a de
nunciatory nature, nevertheless brings |
to mtrtd the fact that the public gen- j
• rally seldom appreciates t lie full vabu
of the efforts exerted L the a vet age
newspaper to furnish the now* In
the main, they expci t the newspaper
to furnish a service which embraces
all the happenings occurring dally
from iJun to lleefsheba regardless of
the fact that a newspaper, like any
other business, must tie run at a profit
in order to continue in existent-- and
also of the more important fact, that
news costs mon« • Especially in those
cases where them is competition, this
insistence on tic- part of the public
forces the newspaper to furnish a
service which in many cases is far
from compatible with the amount of
support given in the way of sub
scriptions and advertising It is easy
to furnish the news if the necessary
t osts are forthcoming and there is
practically no limit to the amount of
news which a newspaper can secure
providing that it can find the money
to pay for It.
Generally speaking the quantity of
news furnished is all dependant on
tlie amount of support given to the
paper If the support is slight 1 lie
quantity of news must necessarily lie
small and hut little increase is pos
sible without a proportionate Increase
in the patronage extended. Generally
speaking, the average paper doing
business in a small town strains its
resources to the utmost in endeavor
ing to answer the insatiable demand/
of the public for news In the main
the demand is for quantity rather than
quality and the newspaper is therefore
compelled to embrace as many sub
jects as possible within the scope of
Its servlet) with a consequent lessening
of the amount of detail accompanying
each story. This necessarily results
at times in reducing the Items to a
degree of brevity wherein only the.
most salient features are preserved
and. in giving the same to the public
the paper Is necessarily restricted to
publishing only tin* barest outlines of
tho subject This absence * if detail
was, we believe, the animating cause
of the remarks referred to but. as lias
been pointed out. the demand fm a
wide range of news entails a sacrifice
of detail which at times results in »il
ing the article in a most tantullizlng
obscurity. The public cannot, in jus
