TRIBUTE TO LONDON TIMES
ENGLISH AND U.S. JOURNALS COMPARED In the American Mercury Professor Frank Doble, who in 1943 and 1944 was a visiting professor at Cambridge, makes a comparison of American and English newspapers in which he pays a tribute to The Times. “No other country in the world,” he writes, “has a newspaper which is such an institution.” After recording the trustee system safeguarding its future ownership and after mentioning that while the war was at its height in 1944 The Times inaugurated the world’s first air edition on India paper, he writes: ' ’ “It is always conscious of three traditions: the impartial presentation of without regard for editorial opinion; the maintenance' 1 of accuracy as to facts; and the absolute divorcement of editorial and advertising departments. It holds that while news must I influence opinion, opinion must not colour the news.”
