This is National Newspaper Week.
As you read this, consider what you hold in your hands. Not just a copy of a familiar harbinger of news, whether weekly, daily or something in-between. Not just a newspaper that we expect to be delivered at a regular time, a comfortable reference, and such an integral part of our lives that we rarely give it special heed.
What you hold in your hands is unique This, and all the newspapers across the nation, not only brin^ you information, but also independent opinion. Not what the government wants you to think. But opinions, whose right to be expressed is protected in the fiber of our country, the First Amendment to our Constitution.
What you are holding is unique because you not only can read what those in government—national, state or local—do and say, but also what those out of government think and do.
What you hold in your hands is documented proof that we are a nation of divergent voices, all of whom have the right to be heard, whether we agree or not. And that is truly unique compared with the majority of the world.
What you are holding is unique, because this newspaper brings you commercial choices—what to feed your family, what, to wear, what to enjoy, where towdfk and live, what to drive, where ttfgbL^Qigpare this uniqueness with other areas of the world where drab lines wait for drab choices, or where suffering lines wait for nourishment that may never come
