The Kentucky Press Association recognizes i ‘
the fundamental importance of the implied ‘ I ‘, ‘
tmst imposed on newspapers and dissemination ‘ , . i

l of public information. It stands for truth, fair- ‘ l ‘ 1 '

‘ ness, accuracy, and decency in the presentation ‘ 3 l

5 of news, as set forth in the Canons of Journal— . ;; 1
ism. It advocates strict ethical standards in its ‘ ‘ '
advertising column. It opposes the publication 3 ‘ ‘ l

1 of propaganda under the guise of news. It af- l I 1

; firms the obligation of a newspaper to frank, ‘ . , > f ‘
honest and fearless editorial expressions. It re- '

l spects equality of opinion and the right of every ‘ l ,
individual to participation in the Constitutional l l

| guarantee of Freedom Of the Press. It believes l E
in the newspaper as a vital medium for civic, f

l economic, social and cultural community de- 1 i

‘ velopment and progress. ' ’
