Favorite newspaper mottos

After visiting the Newseum, I started thinking about my favorite newspaper mottos. Let's start with one from that historic paper down the road from Washington:

Baltimore Sun: "The Sun Shines for All"
New York Times: "All the News that's Fit to Print"
Chicago Tribune: "World's Greatest Newspaper"
Atlanta Journal: "Covers Dixie Like the Dew"
Tombstone Epitaph: "No Tombstone is Complete Without its Epitaph"
Aspen Daily News: "If you Don't want it Printed, Don't Let it Happen"

And the longest motto, but maybe the best:
Mason Valley News (Yerington, Nev.): "The Only Newspaper in the World that Gives a Damn about Yerrington"
