MRS. GEORGE
Reporter Writes Feature On
Subject What to Write About
This is a reporter speaking any
reporter Mary or John by name.
This reporter has been asked by his
editor a campus or metropolitan
editor to write a feature. He
doesn't have a thing to write about
but he jumps at a chance to have
something he wrote come out in
print. Oh nobody over reads fea-
tures. He knows that and doesn't
even care. He'll read it and and
the Linotype man and he'll Imagine
how it would look in the Dallas
News(if he's writing on -the campus
or in the New York Times if he's
writing for the city paper.
But he doesn't have an idea and
how can he write a feature without
a subject? Well why did he say
"Sure I'll turn one out"? There's
plenty of other things he could do
instead. If he's a college guy there's
a copy of "See Here Private Har-
grove" and a blue-backed version
of Shakespeare's "Hamlet" (it's re
quired) on his desk. There's a pic-
ture of his girl he could just look
at her and never need anything else
to do. If he's one of the cubs at the
down-town office he could do a lot
of other things; for instance re-
write on the copy-desk awhile run
around on the streets and pick up
bits he could even read the morning
edition. But no he jumps at a
chance to write a feature that's big
stuff. It shows whether he's got
what it takes to write or not.
Well he considers topics. The
weather is always a possibility. It
was 75 degrees Christmas day and
in a couple of days it snowed. It's
It's Time to Stop and Think Again
About Our Freedom of the Press
They fell with the weary men of
Bataan two accompanied the U. S.
Rangers in the Dieppe raid some are
stationed now in all the vital war
areas valiant men men whose only
weapons are the words they write
these are the foreign correspondents
who risk their very lives to supply
the American public with the truth
about the war.
These men should enable the aver-
age U. S. reader to visualize the
tremendous role the American press
is playing in this war and to what
lengths the news services will go to
obtain the true facts for the folks
back home. President Roosevelt ex-
presses his confidence in the Amer-
can newspapers in these words.
"Our free press has not only sur
vivedit is an essential part of the
steadying ballast which enables our
ship to ride the storm. . . . The Amer-
ican people are vigilant of their
precious heritage of a free press."
In the occupied countries of Eu-
rope men must hurriedly snatch a
few words from hidden radios to
learn the news the average Ameri-
can reads in his morning paper. And
while American news is censored
now in order to avoid giving infor
mation useful to the enemy papers
in this country have not been re-
duced to the rank of government-
dictated propaganda sheets as have
I those of Germany and Japan.
Only when men know the actual
facts of a situation are they able to
formulate sound opinions; thus
Americans who are able to learn
more than any other race of people
what is happening in this world of
war can understand international
affairs more clearly.
Here newspapers do not try to
cram mimeographed opinions down
the throats of their readers. They
know that Americans given the
facts are fully capable of 'forming
very definite opinions of their own.
B. HUGHSTON
been that way ever since then hot
and cold. He could go down to the
weather bureau and get the figures.
But he'd rather not.
He could philosophize on life.
There's a rather broad subject tak-
ing lt from the war and peace1 angle
the human and inhuman sides. But
that's a little deep.
He could go out and interview the
mayor. If he's on the campus he
could go out and interview the presi-
dent. He could get a story on the
statue the Triangle the canon
paintings hanging in the chapel
buildings the professors' dogs and
even the cooks in the dining hall.
Behind all these is something that
keeps him back. In the first place
he'd like to be original.
He thinks up an angle on "the per-
fect man." But that's no good. "The
perfect woman" is impossible so
both subjects are out.
History of a current battle front
would be pretty good but where
would he get the dope before the
dead-line?
At school he could write up his
favorite prof but look at the guys
that don't like him because of a
grade they got once and wouldn't
want him in the paper except in the
gossip.
After devoting an afternoon and
the best part of the night-before-the-dead-hne
the weary reporter who
bit off more than he could chew
finally ends his worries by putting
all his troubles before the "Dear
Reader" if there be one with an
appeal to kindly understand his posi-
tion and scorn not upon his musings.
Thus far in this war the press has
done a noble job of supplying the
facts to the people as well as helping
to rouse the public for war savings
campaigns scrap drives and other
vital ventures.
Someday perhaps these truths
will penetrate the minds of the
American people. And Mr. Average
Citizen will set down his cup of
breakfast coffee and glancing at the
printed sheet in his hand remark
thoughtfully "Wonderful thing
these newspapers!"
