Childs Speaker
At Press Confab
Blame for increasing lack of
faith in the press can be placed
on the interpretive reporter who
interprets the news, according to
Washington Columnist Marquis
Childs, who addressed the 31st an
nual Oregon Press Conference
Friday.
Childs spoke as the Eric W. Al
len Memorial lecturer, sponsored
annually in honor of the late dean
of the School of Journalism. He
spoke to more than 200 Oregon
journalists and University faculty
and journalism students on “The
Role of the Interpretive Reporter.”
Childs also discussed the "grow
ing gulf between government and
the press” during the administra
tions of the last three presidents.
He said that by President Tru
man’s efforts to stop news "leaks,”
the public isn’t receiving news it is
entitled to know.
Voorhies Awards
The conference also heard Mar
shall Dana, of the Oregon Journal,
who addressed a banquet on "Ore
gon’s Newspaper Stalwarts.” Dana
also presented eleven Voorhies
awards to Oregon's outstanding
