National Today * All the News That's Fit to Print Day – February 10, 2024 *
by Paul Sat 10 Feb 2024, 6:12 am
All the News That’s Fit to Print Day is a holiday that is celebrated annually on February 10. The words “all the news that’s fit to print” are some of the most famous words in American journalism. The words took a permanent place in the upper left corner, or left “ear”, of the “New York Times” masthead. There was no notice, commentary, or fanfare when the motto appeared on the daily’s front page. Over time, the phrase has been admired as a timeless statement of purpose. It is considered to be a “war cry” for honest journalism.
HISTORY OF ALL THE NEWS THAT'S FIT TO PRINT DAY
“All the news that’s fit to print” is known to have been printed on February 10, 1897, by the “New York Times.” That edition was the first to be printed with the slogan at the top left corner of the front page. The slogan has continued to appear ever since on print copies of the “New York Times.” The slogan doesn’t appear in the digital version of the newspaper.
Before the use of the slogan, the top left corner of the first page was used to note the number of pages in that day’s edition. The use of the slogan happened a few months after Adolph Ochs became the publisher of the newspaper. The company had been facing difficulties and nearly went bankrupt before Ochs took over. His mission was to try and elevate the quality of the paper’s reporting. He believed this would distinguish it from the “yellow journalism” newspapers that were dominant at the time. Those newspapers were usually filled with stories that tended to be lurid and sensationalized. Sometimes they carried information that was factually inaccurate or outright false. Ochs coined the slogan “all the news that’s fit to print” as a way to sum up his vision for “The Times.” The slogan debuted publicly in October 1896 on a sign that Ochs had placed in New York’s Madison Square.
