# Analysis of "Judging the News" Page This page from *Judge* magazine features editorial commentary and a political cartoon about contemporary events. **The Main Cartoon:** Two newspaper reporters on skis are chasing figures fleeing across snowy terrain, with one reporter asking "Would you mind giving me your name? I'm covering this for the 'Times'!" The satire appears to reference journalist pursuit of news subjects—likely mocking either overeager reporters or evasive news-makers. The skiing setting suggests winter/cold-weather urgency. **Editorial Comments** address: Argentina's political upheaval and business conditions; concerns about South American communist movements; and economic hardship (moths in attics, winter unemployment). The overall tone mocks both news media sensationalism and contemporary political instability, typical of *Judge's* satirical approach to 1920s American affairs.
