Pulitzer on the press

found this Quote (via an article in the Handelsbaltt):


“Our Republic and its press will rise or fall together," Pulitzer wrote. "An able, disinterested, public-spirited press, with trained intelligence to know the right and courage to do it, can preserve that public virtue without which popular government is a sham and a mockery. A cynical, mercenary, demagogic press will produce in time a people as base as itself. The power to mould the future of the Republic will be in the hands of the journalists of future generations.”
― Joseph Pulitzer

The press is now owned by corporations that shape what the press covers and how.
