Charles Prestwich Scott

“Comment is free, but facts are sacred.”

“The voice of opponents, no less than that of friends, has a right to be heard.”

“A newspaper is a great deal more than a business; it is an institution; it reflects and it influences the life of a whole community.”

“Fundamentally it implies honesty, cleanness, courage, fairness, a sense of duty to the reader and the community.”

“Its primary office is the gathering of news. At the peril of its soul it must see that the supply is not tainted.”

“Neither in what it gives, nor in what it does not give, nor in the mode of presentation must the unclouded face of truth suffer wrong.”

“Television? The word is half Greek and half Latin. No good will come of it.”
