The newspaper must provide for the reader the facts, unalloyed, unslanted, objectively selected facts. But in these days of complex news it must provide more, it must supply interpretation, the meaning of the facts. This is the most important assignment confronting American journalism—to make clear to the reader the problems of the day, to make international news as understandable as community news, to recognize that there is no longer any such thing(with the possible exception of such scribblings as society and club news)as "local" news, because any event in the international area has a local reaction in manpower draft, in economic strain, in terms, indeed, of our very way of life.
There is in journalism a widespread view that when you embark on interpretation, you are entering rough and dangerous waters, the swirling tides of opinion. This is nonsense.
The opponents of interpretation insist that the writer and the editor shall confine himself to the "facts". This insistence raises two questions: What are the facts? And: Are the bare facts enough?
As to the first question, consider how a so-called "factual" story comes about. The reporter collects, say, fifty facts, out of these fifty, his space allocation being necessarily restricted, he selects the ten which he considers most important. This is Judgment No.l. Then he or his editor decides which of these ten facts shall constitute the lead of the piece. This is Judgment No. 2. Then the night editor determines whether the article shall be presented on page one, where it has a large impact, or on twenty-four where it has little. Judgment No. 3.
Thus, in the presentation of a so-called "factual" or "objective" story, at least three judgments are involved. And they are judgments not at all unlike those involved in interpretation, in which reporter and editor, calling upon their research resources, their general background, and their "news neutralism", arrive at a conclusion as to the significance of the news.
The two areas of judgment, presentation of the news and its interpretation, are both objective rather than subjective processes—as objective, that is, as any human being can be.(Note in passing: even though complete objectivity can never be achieved, nevertheless the ideal must always be the beacon on the murky news channels.)If an editor is intent on slanting the news, he can do it in other ways and more effectively than by interpretation. He can do it by the selection of those facts that prop up his particular plea. Or he can do it by the play he gives a story — promoting it to page one or demoting it to page thirty.
It can be inferred that the author thinks, in writing a factual story, the writer______.
