This study examines the concepts of perceptual bias and willingness to self-censor (WTSC) to ascertain which factors would influence college newspaper editors’ comfort levels with controversial material. Data from 189 matched pairs of college newspaper editors revealed that editors underestimated advisers’ comfort levels and that those erroneous estimations were predictive of the editors’ comfort levels. In addition, while adviser WTSC was not predictive of editors’ comfort levels on several controversial topics, editors’ WTSC did predict the editors’ comfort with the material.

College newspapers are a powerful but underutilized medium for educating students on health issues, including those related to drug and alcohol use on campus. Editors of these publications are in a position to wield significant influence among their readers. In addition to communicating factual information about the prevalence and impact of substance use among college students, editors can use the press to advocate changes in students' attitudes and behaviors and in college or community policies that affect substance use. A pilot conference was held to help New England college newspaper editors perceive the importance of their role in educating their peers about substance use and other health-related issues, and to offer concrete suggestions as to how they can incorporate these topics into an “activist” campus press.

Newspaper Editors

This chapter contains conclusions and prescriptions for strengthening watchdog reporting. To that end, this chapter presents ten recommendations resulting from this research. These are directed to newspaper editors, as they are most likely to drive the changes needed to make public service journalism all that it can be. Any news organization implementing these recommendations would be able to produce more accountability reporting and more deep investigative and watchdog reporting than ever before. In addition, this chapter provides one more recommendation—this time directed at the readers: subscribe to the local paper. Even better: subscribe to both a local and a nationally focused newspaper, as spending money to support the work of newspapers is one of the best investments to improve one's quality of life and the quality of our democracy.

The Many

This chapter examines the role played by the Israelite in establishing Wise as a leader of American Jewry. The Israelite was a newspaper, of which Wise became the editor in addition to his responsibilities as a preacher. It carried his voice throughout the land, and made some people fear his censure and others curry his favour. It brought him callers and information from all parts. And, as in those days many railways provided free passes for newspaper editors, it gave him the means of undertaking the many journeys to distant congregations which did so much to enhance his influence among the communities of the South and the West.
