Standpoint
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Standpoint is a newspaper published in the British Virgin Islands. It was originally published under the name Pennysaver, largely as a shopping-coupon promotional newspaper, but since emerged as one of the most influential sources of journalism in the Territory.
It is published weekly on Tuesdays.
[edit] Motto
The newspaper's motto (published on its front page every week) is "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything." The motto clearly adds a poignancy to the newspaper's name, and is derived from a quotes variously attributed the American clergyman, Peter Marshall,[1] and to the British journalist, Alex Hamilton (and frequently mis-attributed to American politician Alexander Hamilton),[2] but latterly popularised by Ginger Rogers.[3]
