THE WORLD, as established by JOSEPH PULITZER, May 10, 1883 "An institution that should always fight for progress and re- form, never tolerate injustice or corruption, always fight dema- gogues of all parties, never belong to any party, always oppose privileged classes and public plunderers, never lack sympathy with the poor, always remain devoted to the public welfare, never be satisfied with merely printins; news, always be drasti- cally independent, never be afraid to attack wrong, whether by predatory plutocracy or predatory poverty." A Word About The World ''First in Public Service" -^^f ^ U/36 X y THE NEW YORK WORLD is more than a first-class newspaper. It is the most independent, the most courageous and the most dis- interested publication in the country. In the true sense of the word, it is the most ably edited paper in the United States. It is free; it is bold ; it is scrupulously honest ; it is the one paper in the United States that actually devotes itself to the public service. The World does not believe that all the news that is fit to print is worth reading. It does not compete with volume, but excels in values. All essential occurrences The World presents in compact, accurate form. It is concerned with facts rather than with opinion or detail. A World reader is more quickly, more deftly, more competently informed of what has happened to the world in the last twenty-four hours than is the reader of any other New York newspaper. What every man and woman wants to know, The World tells — and in the fewest possible words. This is the triumph of the art of able editing. The World does not confuse virtue with dulness. It is written to be read. It is neither ponderous nor self-important. It tries to be right and is, most of the time, but is not afraid to admit error. It is interested in people and believes in humanity. It is friendly. It has common sense and a sense of humor. Therefore it is lively and entertaining. It is a sad day in which there are not several laughs in The World. It cherishes no grouches — it prefers to hope for the best. The World is never content with merely giving the news. It con- ceives itself as the attorney for the People. It abhors injustice and dares expose it. It can be depended on to defend the oppressed. Its history is a catalogue of public services. Its reputation is founded on the fights it has made against the enemies of the common weal. The consistent foe of misgovernment and corruption, it is feared more by political tricksters and spoilsmen than any other journal in America. It was The World that exposed the oppressi\e rings of extortionate builders and labor blackmailers. With the evidence gathered by The World, Samuel Untermyer conducted his famous campaign that broke up the rings and sent Brindell to jail. It was The World that tore the mask of secrecy off the Ku Klux Klan. Relentlessly it revealed this sin- ister organization spreading the poison of bigotry and racial antagonism across our land. It was the campaign for disarmament inaugurated by The World that first gave voice to the cry that has gone ringing around the planet for the cessation of competition in battleships. Because of the conviction roused by The World's insistent campaign, the great na- tions of Europe and Asia were summoned to a Disarmament Conference in Washington in November. To report the proceedings of this most momentous meeting The World summoned the man best fitted to inter- pret its issues, the famous historian, H. G. Wells. These are but the latest instances of world service performed in the twelve months past, but they indicate why American journalism con- cedes intellectual and moral leadership to the publication that was founded by Joseph Pulitzer. The World is clean. It does not pander to vice or to crime. It is fair — it has neither friends nor foes in public places. It is earnest in its effort to be accurate in stating the facts of the news. It has no purpose to serve save to tell the truth. It is intrinsically honest and believes its integrity is conceded even by those it has attacked. The characteristics set forth here are rare in an individual and still rarer in a newspaper. They are stated without boastfulness, for they are no more than a record of facts. They represent the spirit breathed into a journalistic entity by the ablest, most far-sighted personality that Amer- ican journalism has produced. His thought, his message, have been held inviolate by his successors. The World is conducted by a group of men who are devoted to the ideals it stands for and whose hope is to be true to the faith that has been given them. World men know that they serve a paper that is free and brave and they are proud of their connec- tion with an institution that has no other cause to serve but Truth and the Right.
