Newspapers
As Commercial
Enterprises
Publishers will agree that the fol
lowing editorial, which appeared in
the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch some
time ago, hits the nail squarely on the
i head and proves that a newspaper in
11 order to render the most effective ser
vice to its readers must prosper, and
in order to prosper the newspaper
must be conducted along business
lines. Under the above heading the
Dispatch says:
Yes; the newspaper is a commercial
institution. It is a business proposi
tion conducted for profit. It manufac
tures a product which it must dispose
of at a greater price than it costs to
manufacture. If you want to look at
it that way, all right. It is correct
But bear in mind also that the fin
ished product is something more than
the printed pages. As it appears, it
is composed of sheets of paper cover
ed over with printer’s ink. But neith
er the paper nor the ink is the news
paper.
These characters ^hich are stamped
‘upon the sheets represent the current
events of the day, the editorial com
ment and the advertising announce
ments. But these items of news and
these editorial comments and these i
advertisements are not the newspa
per. The newspaper is something
over and above the paper and the ink
and the characters which the newsboy
sells you.
Yes; the newspaper is a commercial
institution, and it is well that it is.
Its success depends, therefore, upon
its merit—upon what it does for the
reader or purchaser of it. The pros
perous newspaper is the one most able j
to render the best service to the com
munity. It prospers because people
have fpith in it. It prospers because I
it is so conducted that the people have
faith in it.
A newspaper that is not a success
ful commercial institution is a dan— 1
gerous proposition. If it is success
ful it cannot afford to be otherwise
j than fair and generous in its dealings,
i It could not ran the risk of losing
i its prestige by selling its editorial
! opinions, for instance. It could not
■ afford to advocate something for the
j community in which it is printed that
J would be injurious to that community
! if it is making money in the commun
5 ity. Only the paper that “doesn’t
3 pay” can afford to take such chances.:
] Only the paper that isn’t prospering i
jj as a commercial proposition is to be
j feared in a community. So it is a
j blessed thing that a newspaper is op
J elated for profit and that its profit
' comes from its successful operation.
That insures that it is going to be op-1
elated for the benefit of its readers—
a sort of reciprocal arrangement.
