Trivia # 41 - All the News That's Fit to Print Anniversary

Did you know...

... that today is the All the News That's Fit to Print

Anniversary? On February 10, 1897, the New York Times slogan

first appeared: All the News That's Fit to Print. It was the

winner of a contest organized by its new owner, Adolph

Ochs. Trivia buffs: some of the entries included "Clean, crisp,

bright, snappy; read it daily and be happy;" "Aseptic

journalism up to date;" "Full of meat, clean and neat;" and

"You do not want what the New York Times does not print."
