PRESS AND RADIO
(Cincinnati Enquirer)
At the outbreak of the war in
larope there were many specula
s on what might be the evcn
al status of tb newspaper in
'repetition with the radio as a
means of public information in
he United States. By now cer
tain tendencies are more or less
sett ed.
One of these is tb; disappear
ance of the extra as compared to
newspaper practice in World War
I. But this has been to develop
and intensify a truer value of the
rj wspaper. In the first place
there has of necessity been born
a far better cooperation between
the newspapers and the radio
broadcasts. The news broadcasts
originat in great part from the
efforts of the great news gather
ed organizations created, devel
ped and maintained by the news
papers.
A a n such is the difference b:
.w n ear and eye that the de
ls by which we check on the
v: lue and relative importance of
s narratives appear far more
authoritative y in the printed
w. rd .with the possibility of com
; aring other versions compiled in
■ me regular completeness in
each new paper is ue.
There hav. been a number of
. .stances in which newspaper
rrespond. nts, actually eyewit
II. 03ess of events and military ac
tions, have been able to proco d
to places not subject to censor
ship. Those stories have been
news of the first magnitude be
cause of tb ir known veracity.
And however effective the spok
n word of such masters of orat
ory at Churchi 1 and the Presi
dent, close examination of the
full text when printed has re
vealed values not evident even
when reiterated by instantaeous
transcription. It is. by the printed
word most of us are used to form
our sober judgements.
