THE IDEAL OF FAIRNESS Southern Dailies Silent on Much South, where history is being made. The wire-service tradition of straight-fact events simply is not enough. The tense personal background, the emotional realities of the sit-ins, for example such an opportunity! Granting a few exceptions for the Washington Post, the Times, the Wall Street Journal, the newspapers in general are neglecting a great chance for muckraking in the Southern swamps, where surely there is concentrated as much personal and social corruption, and countervailing courage, as ever moved Lincoln Steffens. Yellow Negro Press The Negro papers I see in Texas, and the others I have picked up around the country, are yellow journalism at its worstsex, violence, and usually unreliable accounts or racial episodes. Probably from an intention to be gentle with an oppressed minority, the profession, and liberal critics of the profression, have fallen silent about this noisome situation. It has been no friendly act. I hope the time will come when there will be no need, nd market, for a Negro or a white press, either, but as long as there is, Negroes ought to try to stop the humiliation of their community by their own newspapers. With Negro leaders coming forward now with zealous idealism as compelling as any in our national history, the incongruity of Negro papers pandering to the ignoble in the human spirit has become insupportable. Whatever exceptions ought to be entered, consider them entered; but let’s put an end to this kid-glove treatment of the yellow Negro press. Some Alternatives Before closing, let me ask if there are some things that might -happen to improve the situation. The Hutchins Commission on Freedom of the Press suggested that nonprofit institutions “help supply the variety, quantity, and quality of press service required,” but the ‘idea has not been taken up. Another idea I have heard is non-advertising newspaper co-ops, owned by their subscribers. The problem would be getting from here to therethat is, from nowhere to a going newspaper. But if the staff could be insulated from any controls by the subscribers, it could be a good thing. Another idea I have read about is a labor-financed daily, say in New York, kin to the one in London. The present labor press, of course, is house-organ stuff. It would be no public service to set up a Los Angeles Times or Chicago Tribune of the left. But many newspapers with a conservative, business editorial outlook are excellent newspapers as newspapers. I do not know if an organization-owned newspaper would work, I have always doubted it; but one can think of ways it could work, and be true to the profession, if the AFL-CIO would accept them. Labor sponsors Ed Morgan on TV; I believe he is left free to say what he wishes. The same could apply to a newspaper. I do not know if, in these days of million-dollar costs, a new paper with liberal policies could now be formed any other way without a large capital group. I am engaged now in an attempt to find out in Texas. We have a fair chance of making it. We will see. But we know we are dealing, as THE TEXAS OBSERVER Page 7 September 2, 1960 you will have to deal, ‘with the main facts of life in journalism: the historical partiality of advertisers as it has formed going newspapers; the constant tension between the ideals of the trade and the necessities of survival as a business. As journalists we individually must live by the idea that freedom of the press is freedom for reporters; for writers; not only freedom for the publisher, but also freedom for the working newsman. The ethic of the staffrun newspaperyou hire me, but not my integrityis the only attitude by which we can help bring into being a press more independently, more creatively involved in the issues of our time. Times That Matter The college press is part of the national press, but not as significant a part as it should be. Most campus issues are trivial, and so are most campus newspapers I see. A few campus issues do matter, and a good deal. Ones that come to my mind are academic standards, academic ‘freedom, the distribution of student energies between sports and studies, student wages, compulsory ROTC, the social values of fraternities and sororities. And now the it-ins, wade-ins, kneel-ins, and civil disobedience. But most college dailies’ argue a good deal more about student elections or the homecoming parade or what color pompoms for the ,pep rally. You likely will not again soon be working on a newspaper whose readers are so willing to think about fundamental questions of human existence commitment, integrity, action, “anxiety and identity.” If I had my year as a college editor to do over, I would have more of the best minds around debating the questions we were really thinking about. I also believe the college newspaper should expand its beat to the city and state where the college abides, especially for those stories calling for original reporting. I remember a series J. P. Porter of The Daily Texan at the University of Texas wrote, exposing miserable condition’s in Texas mental hospitals. The wires picked it up, and .the legislature started LEGALS CITATION BY PUBLICATION THE STATE OF TEXAS TO Loran Dale Orand Defendant, in the hereinafter styled and numbered cause: hereby commanded to appear befor the 126th District Court of Travis County, Texas, to be held at the courthouse of said county in the City of Austin, Travis County, \\Texas, at or before 10 o’clock A.
