Big Town was perhaps the most
famous series of reporter dramas. It featured the adventures of Steve Wilson,
the crusading editor of The Illustrated Press. The show was written by Jerry
McGill, an ex-newspaperman, and his reporters were diligent, sober champions of
justice, zealously pushing freedom of the press, creating a memorable slogan;
âFreedom of the press is a flaming sword! Use is justly â hold it high â guard
it well.â The shows occasionally attacked juvenile delinquency, racism and
drink driving amongst other soapbox related incidents.
