Words that still ring
James F. Lowe, a reporter at the Argus- Champion, wrote a fine front-page obituary of Ed DeCourcy, publisher and editor of the Argus from 1961 to 1982. DeCourcy died last week at 93. As Lowe described him, DeCourcy was an editor who thought globally and acted locally.
My favorite part of the obituary was DeCourcy’s signature moment. It occurred during the Republican congressional primary of 1962. The candidates included James C. Cleveland, who won the seat that year and went on to hold it for nine terms, and Bert Teague, later a Concord legislator.
Teague was a native of Goshen and a popular local figure in Newport, where the Argus was then published. DeCourcy considered Cleveland the best candidate in the field and decided the Argus should support him. In response, several advertisers threatened to boycott the Argus. DeCourcy held his ground. He made his case in words that still ring today – words sure to stir the heart of anyone who cherishes the First Amendment. Here they are:
“A publication that would surrender to any financial pressure, however great or small, to espouse a cause in which it did not believe, to remain silent on an issue about which it had convictions, to withhold legitimate news, or to publish material that had no news value, is not a newspaper. It is a prostitute.”
