LAYMAN'S THOUGHTS
NEWSPAPER EDITORS
Newspaper editors regard themselves far too much of a kind of original
artist who can select and suppress facts with the arbitrary ease of a poet
or a caricaturist. He "makes up" the paper as man "makes up" a fairy
tale, he considers his newspapers solely as a work of art, meant to give
pleasure, not to give news, G. K. Chesterton writes.
So, like Van Gogh, he can completely distort nature and still insist it is
beauty. . .and how it sells. A newspaper that tells the truth will
never sell. What will sell is what caters to the old human love for
gossip.
