• Share

Convening in Chicago last week, the National Editorial Association heard the A.P.'s executive director Kent Cooper continue his longtime crusade for worldwide freedom of the press. They also heard him declare that some of the world's press has been worse than irresponsible in the past. Said he:

"The channels of international communication were long used systematically and usually clandestinely, not to make people know and understand but to make them fear and hate the peoples of other nations."
