The Kentucky Press Association recognizes
)the fundamental importance of the implied
trust imposed on newspapers and dissemination
of public information. It stands for truth, fair- l
Hess, accuracy, and decency in the presentation
of news, as set forth in the Canons of Journal-
: ism. It advocates strict ethical standards in its
advertising column. It opposes the publication
of propaganda under the guise of news. It af- ‘
firms the obligation of a newspaper to frank,
honest and fearless editorial expressions. It re- '
spects equality of opinion and the right of every
individual to participation in the Constitutional
guarantee of Freedom of the Press. It believes
in the newspaper as a vital medium for civic,
economic, social and cultural community de- ,
velopment and progress.
