Press Must be Leader.
I ..aG range Reporter.
A newspaper is either a grait
upon the people, or it is of huge
importance to the community in
which it is published. By reason
of the fact that all towns and sec
tions of the world have measured
their development and progress by
the standards and ranges of their
newspapers, and because of the fact
that po community ever breaks
‘over the horizon of prominence
without the championship of a
newspaper, it is evident that the
newspaper is an essential elite
prise. !1’ it. is a necessary institu
tion. it must be : DEADER —not a
follower, —therefore it is most
necessary. This application can
be made to all newspapers. Those
which do not qualify as leaders in
the development and advancement
of their communities’ affairs are
unnecessary, and are of great dis
advantage to the newspaper field
as a whole. An inferior newspap
er in Northwest Georgia is a hind
rance to a superior newspaper in
Southwest Georgia, lie mse the
inferior newspaper certainly drags
downward the prestige of the news
paper business in the universal
viewpoint.
That is how the way is opened
up for the performance.of valuable
services by the Georgia Press a
sociation. This organization’s most
important objective is the awaken
ing of ALL NFWBPAPLRS ill the
state to action and expansion, to
a high point of efficiency in public
service, so as to do justice to the
requirements of the world and
civilization.
