What The Mail-Journal Means To Me

“The Mail-Journal is just a small town newspaper. It's nothing compared to the one we get at home." I’m sure you’ve heard this statement many times, but I wonder how. many of these people ever stop to think about the importance of newspapers, large or small. In 1735, Peter Zenger. editor of the ‘ Weekly Journal", accused the governor of corruption. He was brought to trial and acquitted as free speech was one of the "rights of Englishmen." Hus started the rights of a free press. In 1768, John Dickenson started the move toward revolution through a small newspaper. Even today, small newspapers are just as important as targe ones A small newspaper will bring the world and national news to people and also the local news of their own town. The Mail-Journal means a lot to me, because without it I would know practically nothing of the things going on in town. It nlso carries school news where larger papers won't. Also, and mast important, it gives high school students, who are interested in journalism, a chance to write for a newspaper and get a head start in their career. This is what The Mail-Journal means to me and to me it is quite a lot. NATIONAL NEWSPAPER WEEK OCTOBER 8-14, 1867

To me. The Mail-Journal is not a paper in which one can read about the important news events of the world, but rather, it is a good example of a weekly newspaper serving rural communities. The Mail-Journal informs the people of Syracuse, Milford, North Webster, and other surrounding communities of the events taking place around them and also gives them a chance to express themselves. The section of the paper that interests me the most is the student written school news page. On this page there is information having to do with the various clubs and activities, sports contests, and academic achievements of the three Lakeland schools. Through this page I can learn what is going on in the other two schools and become better acquainted with the students attending them. I fed that the distinct advantage of this newspaper is that the people of tlx* area can reveal their feelings through the newspaper. With a large newspaper, the editor cannot publish every letter that is sent in to him. but wlien someone sends a letter to The Mail-Journal, it is almost certain that it will be published. So through the newspaper, people can find out howother people feel about local issues. All in all, I think that the weekly newspaper plays an important part in small towns such as ours. While informing the people and letting them express their own opinions, it brings the people closer together and helps make a closely knit and harmonious community.

pumpkins must be scarce this year as I hear they are priced high.

The pike are biting on Lake Wawasee. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur VanAnda and a guest Sue Gaugler of Dayton, caught three in two hours one afternoon. Two were 25 inches long and one 28 inches. Not bad! The leaves are falling fast now and the town is picking them up Mondays and Thursdays.
