I HAPPEN = j The “Kept” Press From ay interesting lecture on journalism, delivered be- fore the Canadian Women’s club Tuesday night by Dr. M. L. Spencer, we extract this statement: “The teém ‘kept’ press, or ‘capitalistic’ prean, can be applied to the American newspaper today only by those who have pot come up thru the ranks and donot know the practical workings of tho actual newspaper offica, No vocation is less trammeled by outside influence than the newspaper field.” That reads like a “wholesale alibi.” “And if this is a sample of the doctrine that Dean Spencer is teaching to) students of journalism at the university, we fear that the subject is not being treated with the open-minded candor} which it erves. There is, of course, a “kept press,” and there is, of course, a “capitalistic press,” and the two are not necessarily the same. A paper subsidized by a political or business group, exist- ing for their benefit and depending for support not on legiti- mate newspaper revenues but on contributions from-or thru tisan politicians and predatory corporations, is “kept.” The organs of political machines are genérally “kept,” be- cause, while they may.prosper for a while, the public finds} them out in the and, and finally withdraws support until they | become liabilities rather than assets, ultimately passing to| the great beyond. Such papers as the Morgan firm's New York Post, the copper trust’s papers in Montana and the journals estab- lished hereabout by railroad and timber interests, may fairly | be considered “capitalistic,” if not “kept.” The wise public consistently disregards their editorial opinions, and often suspects the fairness or accuracy of their news reports. There is also a “twilight zone” into which a newspaper, otherwise independent, steps when the editor or publisher runs for office or enters other businesses “on the side.” To be sure, a journalist has a “right” to seek a senatorship r} ‘> buy a bank, but when he does so he must face the fact that he can no longer look upon, his fellows in the political | or financial fields with unprejldiced eyes, and that the value of his newspaper as a servant of the public is ma- terially lessened.
