| Zusammenfassung: | One of the country's most respected newspapers developed in tandem with the sometimes paradoxical life of Nelson Poynter, its owner for three decades until his death in 1978. As a result of Poynter's obsessive demands, the St. Petersburg Times, once an unremarkable daily read mainly by the residents of Pinellas County, Florida, achieved an international reputation for journalistic innovation and quality Poynter believed that a newspaper is a sacred trust. He set a national standard by using color graphics and photos to tell complex stories He was one of the first to launch a crusade for good writing, and he refused to kowtow to community opinion. "In Florida's largest bastion of Republicanism, it kept intact its reputation as the state's most liberal editorial voice," Robert Pierce writes. "It exhorted its readers to change their minds on gun control, Contra aid, and capital punishment." The Times gave its readers what it thought was good for them, whether they liked it or not |
