TheStandpoint is a defunctnewspaper formerly published in theBritish Virgin Islands. It was originally published under the namePennysaver, largely as a shopping-coupon promotional newspaper, and later emerged as one of the most influential sources ofjournalism in the Territory.
It was published weekly on Tuesdays.[1]
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 quotes variously attributed the American clergyman,Peter Marshall,[2] and to the British journalist, Alex Hamilton (and frequently misattributed to American politicianAlexander Hamilton),[3] but latterly popularised byGinger Rogers.[4]
