DISTRIBUTING THE NATION’S GOODS HE American newspaper is, by its very nature; a local institution, its own community’s mirror, voice, market place and leader. But, just as America is a national community, composed of thousands of local centers, so the American press as a whole is a unit, formed by nearly 14,000 local papers which reflect the national life. In this capacity newspapers together perform a nation-wide eco- nomic service comparable to that performed by each for its own com- munity. Connected up for the transmission and exchange of news they form‘a national market place in which knowledge of the goods of any locality may be found. The many units of this huge nation are not self- dependent. This is because of the degree in which specialize. California and Florida produce man oranges which they can consume.
