Newspaper Week
Communication is the life blood of a community. And it is most appropriate that America set aside a special week to honor the Nation’s newspapers and the men and women who produce them.
The printed word is a powerful instrument of progress. As we celebrate National Newspaper Week we take stock of the benefits a strong newspaper tradition brings to the Nation, to its individual communities, and to each one of us as a citizen-and also of the continuing importance of journalistic integrity. We reaffirm our belief in the fundamental freedom of the press as well as in the awesome responsibility it carries. A potent force in the history of our nation since the very beginning, newspapers continue to grow with our society. The challenges they face and the demands that are placed upon them have increased along with the complexities of modem living. As we Took ahead to America’s third century we salute our newspapers in the hope that they will continue to write proud new chapters in the great and unique tradition of American oress freedom.
