Bible and Newspaper: Talmage on Press as Public Healing
The Rev T De Witt Talmage praised the modern newspaper as the chief external influence for good after the pulpit during a St Louis visit. He called the paper a book with wings that carries words to the world, arguing it educates, civilizes, and elevates society alongside scripture. He contrasted good and bad papers, urged moral journalism, and urged newspapers to warn readers about crime without sensationalism.
