The newspaper, of course,... «Propaganda»
neqa21 октября 2016The newspaper, of course, remains always a primary medium for the transmission of opinions and ideas-in other words, for propaganda.
It was not many years ago that newspaper editors resented what they called "the use of the news columns for propaganda purposes." Some editors would even kill a good story if they imagined its publication might benefit any one. This point of view is now largely abandoned. To-day the leading editorial offices take the view that the real criterion governing the publication or non-publication of matter which comes to the desk is its news value. The newspaper cannot assume, nor is it its function to assume, the responsibility of guaranteeing that what it publishes will not work out to somebody's interest.
