Newspaper Men Are Nuts Says Delano Editor
John F. Tischler of the Delano Eagle says newspaper men are nuts for many reasons including bearing abuse yet praising others, promoting home trade while taking orders from out of town, and always helping others before themselves. He lists traits of an editor as a man who endures insults, writes kind obituaries, praises good deeds, but stays silent on his own needs. The piece ends with asking if editors aren’t nuts.
