Fabian journalism

The Fabian Society, in its relations with the Press, makes no such distinction as that indicated by the phrase, ” the Capitalist Press.” In England all political papers without exception are conducted with private capital under the control of the owners °f the capital.
Some of them profess Socialist opinions, others Conservative opinions, others Liberal and Radical opinions and so forth. The Socialist papers are in no way more independent of social pressure than the others ; and the superiority of a Socialist paper from the Socialist point of view is of exactly the same nature as the superiority of a Conservative paper from the Conservative point of view.
The Fabian Society, in securing journalistic expression for its ideas, has no preference, except for the largest circulation.
