Definitions

type of article other than straight news usually included in a newspaper. A crusade is an attempt by a newspaper to service the public interest. There have been crusades as long as there have been newspapers. Often a crusade will result from investigatory reporting. A bad spot is turned up, and the paper will work as a team to handle that bad spot. Crusades are a traditional part of the newspaper's hat. (BPL 10 Jan 73R)
