OUR ETHICS...

We believe that the public journal is a public trust; that all connected with it are, to the full measure of responsibility, trustees for the public; that acceptance of lesser service than the public service is a betrayal of this trust.

Clear thinking, clear statement, accuracy and fairness are fundamental to good journalism.

A journalist should write only what he holds in his heart to be true. Suppression of the news, for any consideration other than the welfare of society, is indefensible. No one should write as a journalist what he would not say as a gentleman. We believe that advertising, news and editorial columns should alike serve the best interests of readers; that a single standard of helpful truth and cleanness should prevail for all; that supreme test of good journalism is the measure of its public service.
