This paper meets the requirements of ANSI / NISO Z39.481992 (Permanence of Paper).
In February of 1911, identical ads appeared in the newspapers of fifty-six different American cities. We need your viewpoint, the ads said, and we ask you to answer these six questions:
1. What local newspaper do you read regularly?
2. How are your opinions influenced by its editorials?
3. Do you as a rule believe what you read in the news columns?
4. What feature or department do you value most?
5. What criticisms, if any, have you to make?
6. Which local newspapers exert a good, and which a bad, influence on your community?
Colliers Weekly magazine was conducting a national survey of newspaper readers as part of a year-long investigation into the history and influence of the press. The ads offered fifty-dollar prizes for the best essay from each of the fifty-six cities. In the three months before the deadline, Colliers received ten thousand essays from every state and territory in the nation.
Colliers began by asking people which local newspaper they read regularly because nearly all American cities housed multiple daily papers. Like true Americans, explained Egmont H. Arens in his essay for Colliers, the citizens of Albuquerque must have the news. It is an essential of modern life. Everybody in town has one of the papers, and a great many of us read both the morning and evening sheets.fat with new sections, ads, and special features, readers could easily find something to love in each of them.
The ten thousand responses to the Colliers contest sounded some consistent notes. Readers tended to believe the news reports printed in their papers, but insisted that the editorials did not influence them. They scorned the sensationalism that had spread from San Francisco and New York papers into their hometowns, but they appreciated the investigative reporting these same papers performed. Essay writers clearly felt that their choice of newspaper spoke to the kind of person they were. Mr. Chamberlain believed that, by choosing the Chicago Tribune, he was choosing self-improvement: It brings to a mind like mine, which has a breadth of thought on things current, the depth which it needs.
