La Verne Paul Influence of the Modern Newspaper A wreck at Sixth and Broadway, a revolu- tion in Spain, the coronation of a king in England, a marriage in Cannes — we are thereby using our imaginations and our eyes to read the many pages of tne modern newspaper. Through the inventive and journalistic efforts of the coiomai settlers and those coming after, notauiy Edwaru vv . Scripps, the mouern daily has been maue possible. How different it is trom tne irregiuar one page euiliou ot tne seveiueentn century newspaper! The moue.n dailies of twenty- mo or more pages nave euiargeu tne pur- pose of tne first Aiueutau newspapers to bring news trom iuig.and to those who came over on l.ie lUaynower . Today, chronicnng of world news is the usiua lamer tnan the unuauai tiling. Present at tacn caieiit eveiK, earning, typewriting, teiephon.ng, is a intle group 01 men and women, wno together witn mose attending linotype, autopiate, ami nign-speeu printing presoeo ai tne local newspaper otfices, ex- tend our horizon to tne enus of the earth. The newspaper p.ays an important par , in the life of the worm, nations, and cities, and the benefits received from it are many. The standard of living has been raised by reporting from one nation to another in- ventions, living conditions, and methods of doing things The newspaper influences opinion on international problems as well as the political policies of a nation. By keeping the people informed about the government, officials, and candidates for office, the newspaper makes possible a democracy in a large country. Illiteracy of many has been overcome through the news- pap r; The newspaper also plays an important part in school life. The school paper, by reporting the band tour, projects in dif- ferent departments, athletic and debate contests, and meetings of the student coun- cil, arouses the interest and the ambition of many ill fields into which they would not otherwise venture and keeps students in touch wiib campus activities. It also pro- vides a class in which the members gain a lit th experience in a vocation which some may wish to follow later. The conception of big business in Amer- ican life is also reflected in the newspaper. Tin present size of the newspaper, both in maKe-up and circulation, is largely the result of the growth of advertising, which in tu.n is a resu t of growth in business and industry. The consolidation of business into great enterprises finds a counterpart mi l he great metropolitan dailies. The mod- ern newspaper is inextricably a part of modern business. The modern newspaper is a reflection ot the pulse of the American people; their energy, nervousness, and enthusiasm, their emphasis on speed and bigness. In tin- past quarter century, the newspaper has kept pace with the ever-changing condi- tions of American life and has unquestion- ably become one of the most powerful in- struments for good or bad in the present social order. — 12 —
