WHY EDITORS
ARE SUSPICIOUS
If the newspaper reporter
isn't too enthusiastic when
you say you have some
news, there’s a reason. He
wants to know whether it
actually is news or some
thing else.
Many organizations, both
national and local, ask the
newspapers if some news
would be acceptable. The
editor or reporter is always
glad to get news and ans
wers in the affirmative. Per
haps the first two or three
offerings are real news,
something of interest to
readers, actual events or
happenings.
But it isn't long until good
old propaganda rears its
head. The “news” turns
out to be an exposition of
the theories of the organi
zation, a mild form of ad
vertising to promote the
aims and objects, cleverly
worded reasons why there
should be more members.
In many cases, the publici
ty is to help someone hold
a job at a satisfactory sal
ary.
Newspapers are usually
generous in giving free pub
licity to worth while under
takings. But demands al
ways far exceed what is
reasonable. Many of those
responsible for supplying
the news either cannot or
will not distinguish be
tween events and free pub
licity. They think in terms
of putiing over an idea in
stead of providing interest
ing information.

NEW THRILL PICTURE
EXPOSES RACKET IN
THE OIL INDUSTRY
Although the racket, devastat
ing in its scope and often leaving
terror in its wake, has forced it
self upon the American economic
structure during the past decade,
its far-reaching effects are realiz
ed by comparatively few. How it
has spread its influence to the
lives of the men in the street is
embraced by the Columbia pro
duction, “State Trooper,” a story j
of wilful sabotage in the gigantic |
oil industry, which comes to the \
screen of the Dream Theatre next
Friday, Jan. 10th.
The ingenious and often diabili
cal contrivings of the renegade
oil trust to artificially boost gaso-[
line prices to the detriment of the
general public is frankly and
melodramatically portrayed by a
sterling cast of film players.
