Twenty years ago, a calamity occurred in New York journalism. It was recorded at first hand in the February 27, 1931 issue of the newspaper World, the last edition of a great newspaper. The shock of the newspaper's passing was deeply felt by the 2,867 employees of the World, the Evening World and the Sunday World. It registered almost as intensely with working newspapermen throughout the nation and with all men and women of good will concerned about assaults of privilege and corruption and bigotry. The family of World readers believed that the paper fulfilled the Pulitzer ideal as nearly as any daily paper could. |
