What we believe in at The

Lake Gazette...
“I believe that the
journalism which succeeds
best — and best deserves
success — fears God and
honors Man; is stoutly
independent, unmoved by
pride of opinion or greed
of power, constructive,
tolerant but never careless,
self-controlled, patient,
always respectful of
its readers but always
unafraid, is quickly
indignant at injustice; is
unswayed by the appeal
of privilege or the clamor
of the mob; seeks to give
every man a chance and,
as far as law and honest
wage and recognition
of human brotherhood
can make it so, an equal
chance; is profoundly
patriotic while sincerely
promoting international
good will and cementing
world-comradeship; is a
journalism of humanity, of
and for today’s world.”
From The Jounalist’s Creed,
