Rep. Samuel W. Yorty, of California, commended the American Association of English-Jewish Newspapers on the floor of Congress last Friday, for adopting a resolution citing attacks on civil liberties as dangerous to the freedom of the press.
Rep Yorty told Congress: “The publishers and editors who adopted this resolution are thoughtful Americans anxious to protect our nation against both subversive activities and those demagogues who under the guise of fighting subversion seek to intimidate loyal Americans and destroy our cherished freedoms including freedom of the press.”
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
