The Wheel Full of Eyes and the Newspaper
Washington March 22. The speaker compares news wheels to Ezekiel’s eyes, extols the press as a global messenger, traces journalism’s genealogy from ancient circulars to modern papers, and lauds editors as powerful forces for good while warning of vanity and danger in newspaper ventures. He urges editorial training, laments impersonality, and proclaims the newspaper the era’s mightiest influence for civilization and history.
