Press II

"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."
--Joseph Pulitzer (1847-1911)
Hungarian-born American newspaper publisher after whom the Pulitzer Prize was named.
