Newspapers

I disagree with Ghandi on his idea about what a newspaper should be he states, " One of the objects of a popular newspaper is understand popular feeling and give expression to it; another is to arouse among the people certain desirable sentiments..."(5). My understanding of a newspaper has always been that it should be display the sentiments of the populace, but it should be impartial. It should not arouse desirable sentiments. I think what Ghandi is referring to is spreading propaganda. This is not done in the spirit of free ideas.
