   The gap in attitudes between the older and younger generations is well known. But why does the gap exist? Is it, as some believe, because people become more conservative as they age?

   Or is it simply that today’s younger generation has adopted attitudes that differ from those of their elders? One researcher found that people’s ideas do change somewhat as they grow older, but they don’t change much. Attitudes formed in the late teens and early twenties are pretty stable. Thus the generation gap seems to result from each generation’s entering adulthood with different attitudes.ª¤ª¤

    Daily newspaper has an editorial page. Here opinion is expressed on events and personalities in the news. But editorial judgement is so persuasively presented that many people accept these opinions as facts. Good journalists uphold a code of ethics which distinguishes between news and editorial opinion. This code holds that in an editorial column the publisher is entitled to advocate any cause he chooses. It is understood that there he is speaking as a partisan and may express any view he desires. Because a modern newspaper is so expensive to produce and so costly to establish, newspapers have increasingly become big business organizations. Although there are exceptions, these large newspapers tend to reflect the views of their owners in their editorials on economic and political matters.

    In the news columns, however, the complete and unbiased facts should be reported. The better metropolitan newspapers and the great press associations usually can be relied on to keep their news impartial. But the less ethical publications often deliberately “color” the news to favor or oppose certain group or movements.ª¤ª¤
