The Gatekeepers

“It is our responsibility—those of us who have been given the temporary status as gatekeepers of information—to make sure that the place where we live can find out what it needs to know about itself.”

—Charles W. Bailey,
on stepping down as editor
of the Minneapolis Star and Tribune, 1983
