The article focuses on the book "Sugar Pill," by T.S. Matthews. Most American cities can support no more than one morning newspaper and in at least 181 there is no competition because, if there is an evening paper, it is put out by the same management. The single-minded devotion to a particular segment of the population, characteristic of the London papers, is therefore impossible in this country. Hence a great deal of what Matthews has to say has little or no significance for American newspapermen who work for a different kind of institution.

The article presents information about the U.S. educator Robert M. Hutchins' views on the editors. Hutchins somewhat unfairly ignored the quandary of the editors. It is this: how can the editor of a big-city newspaper be at once politically liberal and financially honest? He is practically never the owner of the property he controls, but he is its custodian. The paper usually represents an investment of many millions of other people's money, and a conscientious agent is not going to take chances with other people's money, even in circumstances under which he might gamble his own. Hutchins is wrong in implying that tarrying by the Wailing Wall is the deliberate choice of the editors, many of whom are really blithe fellows.

The article presents a report on the kingmaker of the California republic party , Norman Chandler, publisher of the "Los Angeles Times," who has founded the "Mirror" in 1948 with his chief target the Democratic "Daily News."

But can this city support five metropolitan dailies? Of the four which remain, only Chandler's "Times" is a money-maker. His "Mirror" has yet to finish a year in the black.
