“If a paper would be truly great there must be other than statistical demonstration. It must be not a herald merely. It must couple purpose with publicity. It must enlighten as well as entertain. It must discover and exploit good as well as evil. It should interpret facts as well as publish them. It should exhibit courage as well as conviction. Finally, it must regard this truth: that malice, so unbecoming in a man, is unspeakable in a journal.” https://www.newspapers.com/article/st-louis-post-dispatch/160780268/ #stlouis #journalism
