Signs of the Times

[From the National Printer-Journalist, Milwaukee, Wisconsin]

National Editorial Association Code of Ethics, adopted at the 1925 convention: We believe in the newspaper profession, that every newspaper is a public service institution deriving its power and usefulness from those who read it, that those who enter this calling should be trained men and women, prepared to devote their lives to the best interests of the people in unselfish service. We believe that every newspaper should be a loyal supporter of the Constitution of the United States and an advocate of the enforcement of law. We believe that nothing should be printed in a newspaper which may not be read in the home. We believe that truth should be set as the standard for every newspaper in news, editorial, advertisement, and circulation. We believe that only such newspapers as strive to maintain the highest ideals of truth, justice, honesty, fairness, and decency in all departments deserve the support of the people, and we pledge ourselves to maintain as best we may these standards.
