The newspaper's "campus" is the entire country, it's
professors are trained reporters and editors and col
umnists, its "endowment" is the American Bill of Rights
clause guaranteeing a free press, its classrooms are
everywhere ... frequently in the home, sometimes in
moving vehicles, often in places of work . . . scattered
across the continent.
The Newspaper Has
Been Called "America's greatest
institution of adult education!"
The textbooks for Americans who do "post-grad
uate work" by reading newspapers are never out
of date. They are revised daily, always filled with
facts carefully authenticated.
Every day, newspapers provide new challenges
to local citizens. Every day they provoke discussions
and an exchange of viewpoints between readers,
who are free to think as they please and to express
their views in the newspaper itself.
The classbell rings when the "text-book" is laid
at your doorstep or dropped in your mailbox, or
delivered to the nearest newsstand.
Importantly, this educational function perform
ed by your newspaper is tied to our survival and
well being. Facts gleaned from the newspaper give
us a better understanding of life, our community,
our nation and the world.
These facts help us to "belong", to fill our place
in the community, to help make important decis
ions in our personal lives and in the judgement
that affect others.
