Is There a Trend Developing?
From today's (10/7/2011) D/P Editorial:
"This is national newspaper week. It's a time created by journalists and newspaper publishing executives to commemorate our craft and to reflect on why we do what we do. Those of us who toil every day writing, producing and delivering a daily newspaper, regardless of the format our readers choose, do it for many reasons. But at the core, we do it for freedom.
History shows us there are two primary pillars to any free society: a free press which is manifested in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the right to bear arms, our Second Amendment.
Virtually every despot in the modern world did two things upon seizing power: confiscate weapons and abolish the free press. Often those who dared to publish were jailed — or executed."
