GOOD JOURNALISM,
SAYS N. Y. WORLD. |.
“An airship which sailed west over
Bellefonte last Thursday morning,”
says the Bellefonte Pa. Democratic
Watchman, “is believed to have been
piloted by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, |
though there is no certainty about
it, as the plane didn’t stop at the
Bellefonte field.” It strikes us that that |
is good journalism, as opposed to the |
kind that takes a chance and runs’
a “Lindy Flies Over Town” streamer.
Just the same, the editor of the Dem- |
ocratic Watchman should have
telegraphed Lindy to find out wheth- |
er it was the Lone Eagle. His reply,’
or his failure to reply, would have
made a good story. —Editorial par-
agraph in New York World.
We are willing to admit that there
might have been a story in it could
we have found out from Col. Lind- |
bergh, whether it was he who made |
the flight, but the night in question
just happened to be one of those
times when “Lindy” was lost, tempo-!
rarily, and the public didn’t know
just where he was. One story had
him in the east and another in the
west, and there was no knowing
where to reach him with a telegram. |
Several days later he turned up at |
St. Louis, Mo., but too late for the
“good story” purposes. |
