“I have in. the past not thought a great deal of the Press of the Dominion," said a New Zealander,who returned from Europe to Auckland last week, “hut after my experience in America, and even in England, T have 7 changed by views, and cannot now speak too highly of our New Zealand newspapers. In America the papers are appalling. They give you sensational headings at great length all about divorce cases, murders, and other unsavoury topics, but for real news that would interest a person of ordinary education you look in vain. In England I found a tendency to eater for the same class of readers as those for which the American journalists evidently write.- There was everywhere an absence of information on the topics sane, sensible people;discuss. Everything seems to he sacrificed to the one aim of creating a sensation and giving something, spicy. As I say, my experience of the papers of .America and the Old Country, but especially of America, have convinced me that our New Zealand Press is something of which New Zealand should he proud."
