We have each of us a share in this process, we are to a greater or less extent responsible for its course. To make our judgments, we must have reports from other parts of the social body; we must know what our fellow-men, in all classes of society, in all parts of the world, are suffering, planning, doing. There arise emergencies which require swift decisions, under penalty of frightful waste and suffering. What if the nerves upon which we depend for knowledge of this social body should give us false reports of its condition? ## Chapters - [CHAPTER LXVI](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/71/index.md) - [CHAPTER LVIII](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/63/index.md) - [CHAPTER XXIII](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/28/index.md) - [CHAPTER XXXIII](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/38/index.md) - [CHAPTER XLII](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/47/index.md) - [CHAPTER XXVI](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/31/index.md) - [CHAPTER LX](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/65/index.md) - [CHAPTER XXXVI](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/41/index.md) - [CHAPTER LVII](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/62/index.md) - [CHAPTER XXXVIII](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/43/index.md) - [CHAPTER XLI](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/46/index.md) - [CHAPTER XXIV](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/29/index.md) - [CHAPTER XXIX](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/34/index.md) - [CHAPTER LXV](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/70/index.md) - [CHAPTER XXVIII](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/33/index.md) - [CHAPTER LIX](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/64/index.md) - [CHAPTER XXXIX](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/44/index.md) - [CHAPTER XLIII](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/48/index.md) - [CHAPTER XXX](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/35/index.md) - [CHAPTER XLVI](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/51/index.md) - [CHAPTER LVI](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/61/index.md) - [CHAPTER XX](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/25/index.md) - [CHAPTER XXXV](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/40/index.md) - [CHAPTER LXIII](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/68/index.md) - [CHAPTER LXIV](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/69/index.md) - [CHAPTER V](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/8/index.md) - [CHAPTER XVI](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/20/index.md) - [CHAPTER VI](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-brass-check-a-study-of-american-journalism-64657/chapters/9/index.md) - [did.
