Rabbi Berkowitz Criticises Press at Noon Meeting
Unitelligent Reading Forms
Wrong Public Opinion,
He Declares to
Y. M. C. A.
"More genuine harm can be done in the forming of public opinion by unintelligent reading of a newspaper than in any other way," Rabbi Henry J. Berkowitz of Kansas City said today at the Y. M. C. A. luncheon in Myers hall. "Be pessimistic. Discriminate when you fail to understand the wrong, theair from the unfair, and the decentfrom the indecent," he advised.
Rabbi Berkowitz criticized the press severely, particularly the press of the Middle West, in his talk. He read direct cases of contradictions between headlines and readings of newspapers, examples of untruths and the harmfulplaying up of trivial happenings tothe sensational.
Kansas City Star Censured
The speaker particularly censure the Kansas City Star in his article which as the world court, "The Star is filling the public mind with much insidious matter about the world court. The Kansas City people cannot get facts from the court but only preside," he said.
The rabbi challenged his hearers to give him an actual fact about the court which they had read in the Kanser Court. He created a prejudice among its reading public against the world court when all the leading political scientists have agreed that the world court is necessary to the court.
Problem Discussed in Forum
Problem Discussed in Forum
The university paper approaches nearer to the trial may only other type, according to Rabbi Borkowitz, nor is it out for money" he said.
In a short open forum held after the talk, the speaker was asked the solution to the problem in the first question. The firm had read the newspaper as a newspaper, but as a commercial enterprise." His second suggestion was to offer the correct news through magazines or newspapers that are above the comic factor.
"The most important remedy" he said, "is to educate the public to discriminate and separate the poor from those who are wrong in reading the newspaper."
"The newspaper must be cleansed, and if you students would do it, you must be completely disillusioned and not permit yourselves to be shocked as the public mind of America is," said Rabbi Henry J. Berkowitz in a lecture to the students of journalism this morning.
Readers Must Be Critical
Newspapers Do Not Give Truth, Says Rabbi Berkowitz
The newspaper has the power to influence the public mind to the greatest extent and has used it to hopefully delude the public. This is the greatest abuse of the American news paper," Rabbi Berkowitz said, quoted a number of reporters from the Detroit Free Press, pointing out that the headlines and the stories did not coincide in many cases.
"What the public is getting is not really news but the bias of the reporter or the facts that the paper wants it to have," the Rabbi said. Papers cater to other news not to certain articles of the news in certain advertisements. "They should not be called newspapers but advertising sheets," he said.
"The pulpit can denounce the wrongs of the newspaper as bodily as it likes, but the paper has such power over the public mind that the voice of the preachers is like a vowel bowling to the people." The newspaper is not to have a critical eye," said Rabbi Berkowitz.
