NEWSPAPER VERACITY,

A recent number of the Medical and Surgical Reporter, in an editorial article on the subjet of being buried alive, takes occasion to impugn the veracity of the press, and to slander the agent of the Associated Press at Chicago. Speaking of a story which proved to be without foundation, the writer says: "The Associated Press agent in Chicago who started the story around the country, on being asked if he thought there was any truth in it, replied to our representative; I am not sup posed to believe everything these fellows (mear ing the reporters) write.

We hope

that those who manage the daily newspapers will some day properly punish reporters who, furnish them with such cruel inventions,"

We take the liberty of entirely discrediting the remark attributed to the Chicago agent of the Associated Press, saya San Francisco Jurnal. It is not at all likely that be made it in the form given. If asked his Individual opinion of the story- a question, by the way, which should not have been asked-he may have said, as any one. would, that many reports and rumors are to be received with caution; but as to villying reporters generally, it is not reasonable to suppose that he did so, inasmuch as he must depend on reporters for the news he distributes. He is supposed to believe what the reporter write, unless there be some strong grounds for disbelief, and as his function is simply that of a collector and distributor of news, be would shortly be out of business if he received every item with suspicion and insisted on verify. ing it before he sent it out,

wonder is that, in view of its varied sources of information and of the desire which outsiders have to use a newspaper as a means to gratify personal spite and malice, the mistakes are not more frequent.

An illustration may serve to make this point more clear. Taking up an exchang: at random, in this case a Texas paper, we "The senza- find an article beginning: tional fact was learned last evening by a reporter for this paper that W. C. Bruce, the missing forger, is the son of one of the wealthiest and proudest families of Missouri," etc. That, is cer- tainly a genuine piece of news, but does any sane person suppose that the reporter of the paper invented it, or that the paper published it knowing it to be false? The story may or may not be true, but the newspaper's veracity cannot be impugned, since its article clearly refers to some source of Information.

Many people are entirely too ready to charge lack of veracity on a newspaper when even an immaterial mistake is made. For example, a newspaper will publish an obituary notice of Mr. William Jones, saying that he came to this State In the spring of 1850, and some old-timer will read it and exclaim: "What blankety blank Hart the newspapers have got to be. I mined with old Bill Jones on the south fork of the Yaba in the fall of '49"; and so the innocent and entirely blameless error in the date of Bill fenes' arrival in California is set down to the discredit

of the veracity of the newspaper.

The fact is, however, that everybody does belleve the newspapers, except in those cases where an error is within the reader's personal knowledge. Then, if he be a man of sense, he credits the paper with an honest mistake; if not, he rushes to the conclusion that all newspapers are liars, and that, as Mark Twain said of the Kanakas, they will lie for six bits when they could make a dollar and a quarter by telllag the truth. It is not true in any sense that a newspaper-that is, a respectable news. paper-lles for the sake of lying. On the con- trary, its rule is a strict adherence to truth. As to punishing its reporters for furnishing it with inventions, the universal rule of every well-con-THE ducted newspaper is that the falsification of news entails the discharge of the mendacious reporter without benefit of clergy.
