Abstract

Newspaper Criminals in Chicago
Veteran, A. | July 23, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the recent startling charges of criminal racketeering on the part of Chicago reporters, editors and other press men. The public is ready to believe that scores of newspapermen have yielded to the temptations thrust under their noses and increased their small incomes by forcing the division with them of the blackmail levied upon various trades and occupations. The newspaper passion for scoops, for fresh sensations, for exciting news has led to practices which lend color, superficially, to the wholesale charges of reportorial and editorial racketeering.
