Overview
Rather than punish the journalists, the Kentucky appellate court hearing the case blamed readers for the arguably salacious coverage of the trial: \"...the public everywhere were interested in all of its details - and the newspapers of the country, to gratify this desire, however depraved it might have been, published full accounts of it.\" In 1909, the Society of Professional Journalists, formerly called Sigma Delta Chi, was founded at DePauw University. 1909 was a comparative calm in front of a gathering storm that within a couple of decades included World War I, a world-wide flu pandemic and the Great Depression. [...]that's getting ahead of 1909 - the year that the newly formed Society of Professional Journalists exhorted members to \"work to safeguard the flow of information from all sources to the public, so that it has access to the truths required to make democracy function and to protect our freedoms.\"
