TEXAS NEWSPAPER OPINION: I

MILTON GABEL and HORTENSE GABEL

Dr. Gabel, a dentist, is a resident of New York whose military service included two years in the state of Texas. His wife (Hortense Wittstein) was Assistant Corporation Counsel of the City of New York before joining her husband in the Southwest. She became familiar with the Texas press through her work on the public relations staff of Camp Hood, Texas.

The authors contend that, in face of the wide freedom it enjoys under the American Constitution, the press is under the corollary duty of furnishing disinterested, expert interpretation and evaluation of the news. An analysis of editorials on national and international affairs in ten newspapers blanketing the State of Texas leads to the conclusion that this function is badly performed, especially in view of the newspapers' evident bias toward property rights and against human rights.
