Mr. Harry Browne:

The practice of having supplements that exist effectively to attract advertising clearly comprises the traditional idea of editorial integrity in newspapers. The journalists who write for them could, if they were freelance journalists, be working on the property supplement one day and have to put on their ethical hat a little bit crooked because they would be aware of the need to report in a particular way for the property supplement. Without bashing them, because they did some beautiful writing, some of the masters of euphemism in property supplements are extraordinary literary achievements. The journalist would then have to straighten his or her hat again when required to work on the news pages. This sort of compromise on a daily or weekly basis among journalists is not something that can be sustained as an ethical stance or as a way of pursuing what is, I think, a vocation rather than only a trade. Absolutely, it has huge consequences.
