About this book
Liberty and the News contains essays on journalism and considers freedom and truth in relation to the news. The text criticizes editors who have come to believe, especially since the war, that their highest duty is to instruct and save civilization rather than report news. The discussion of immigrants describes a failure to understand their culture and aspirations, connecting suspicion with the absence of current information and a background of facts.
The argument says that people who lose their grip upon the relevant facts of their surroundings inevitably become victims of agitation and propaganda. The response to objections about an apparatus of knowledge acknowledges the force of the indictment, while expressing a conviction that fighting for truth will accomplish more than fighting for theories.
