"Our
Republic
and its
press
will
rise or
fall
together.
An able,
disinterested,
public-spirited
press,
with
trained
intelligence
to know
the
right
and
courage
to do
it, can
preserve
that
public
virtue
without
which
popular
government
is a
sham and
a
mockery.
A
cynical,
mercenary,
demagogic
press
will
produce
in time
a people
as base
as
itself.
The
power to
mould
the
future
of the
Republic
will be
in the
hands of
the
journalists
of
future
generations." Joseph
Pulitzer
