THE FIRST LAW OF THE NEWS
“Get it First, but first get it Right”
THE SLOGAN OF
New York Evening Journal
News Gathering Staff
All through its local news staff as well as through the International News Service Staff the gospel of GET IT RIGHT is stressed and reiterated twenty-four hours in the day. The man who can’t get the habit of ACCURACY can’t stay in this organization though he be the most brilliant writer living. “Get it First but first get it Right” is at once a fearless challenge and a solemn pledge of faith.
More buy it—more read it—more like it than any other evening newspaper.

WHAT THE CAMERA’S EYE SEES
One good picture is worth ten thousand words, says an old proverb. The Evening Journal is invariably first in serving its readers with accurate, informative, illuminating and exclusive news pictures. Each picture must pass the scrutiny of the most critical staff of experts to be good enough for reproduction in the Evening Journal. New Yorkers know they get better and more interesting pictures in the Evening Journal than in any other New York newspaper.
