Today's word on journalism

Monday, January 14, 2008

A newspaper creed:

"An institution that should always fight for progress and reform, never tolerate injustice or corruption, always fight demagogues 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 printing news, always be drastically independent, never be afraid to attack wrong, whether by predatory plutocracy or predatory poverty."

-- The New York World, 1883

By Cody Gochnour

December 13, 2007 | Matthew Lyman Brown, 25 of Logan, has been arrested on suspicion of fraudulently obtaining subscriptions, forged prescriptions, possession of a controlled substance, possession of prescription substance without a prescription, interfering with arrest and psychotoxic chemical abuse.

Capt. Eric Collins, Logan City Police Department's information officer, said a pharmacy had called a strike force office with information that someone had filled a prescription they later learned was not valid.

"The pharmacy called the doctor's office to find out if the prescription was valid,"" he said, "and it wasn't, so they called us."

Officer Italasano of the Logan City Police Department made the arrest at Brown's home.
