J. F. Graham Journalism- Its Possibilities In the choosing of Journalism as the theme for this year ' s an- nual the staff thereby recognizes one of the nation ' s greatest in- dustries. Also by this same choice the staff manifests its awareness of the power and in- fluence of Journalism as ex- pressed through the press and the radio as a vehicle. News, whether on the printed page, over the wire, or tnrough the ether, makes the whole world one small neighborhood. The emotions of the metropolis may be vibrant in the being of the hermit sitting at his radio in his isolated cabin in the mountain fastnesses. As a dialer at home in his cushioned chair, one may attend a coronation, a Kentucky derby, an athletic event, a fiood trag- edy, or a religious service with more comfort and often with more understanding and certain- ly with more freedom than can be enjoyed by a personal attend- ance, provided there is a superb commentator like Edwin C. Hill or Graham MacNamee to ex- plain, to illuminate, to stimulate. Journalism may be just news, even stoop to gossip ; it may pic- ture the sports of the day; it may recite the tide of the battle; it may silence the nation by report- ing a catastrophe ; it may set up a code of ethics ; it may justify a democracy, its evolution and re- finement; it may formulate a creed. It covers a range from the simple to the profound — but it always informs. In a democracy, which is a government by the people, the degree to which its citizenry is informed determines the level of intelligence. Journalism ' s con- tribution is to raise that level of intelligence- In short, Journal- ism ' s function and Journalism ' s opportunity is to create and to keep a high level of civic in- telligence, of civic consciousness • and of civic righteousness. — 8 —
