ENSIGN MARTY CHANIK NAVY RECRUITING EUGENE 687-6498 Shana Alexander and Ben Bagdikian Press conference features two Readers are “hungry” to hear the views of other people, not just anonymous columnists, thus, interpretive journalism is flourishing, according to Shana Alexander, contributing editor of Newsweek, who held a press conference with Ben Bagdikian, Pulitzer prize-winning reporter, editor and press critic Friday at the Faculty Club. Alexander cited her bi-weekly column ap pearing in Newsweek, “My Turn,” as an example of interpretive writing and went on to say that Newsweek is featuring more columns and signed pieces in its regular news sections than ever before. “We need more interpretations, not just cap sulizations of stories,” said Alexander. She still prefers writing in the third person narrative, however; a holdover from her days as a reporter. “Women today won’t come up against tokenism,” Alexander said on the subject of women in the media. “I give them the same advice as men interested in journalistic careers—write.” Although she is the only woman on the Newsweek staff with a regular column, she does not consider herself a token. Alexander also spoke on two recent Newsweek cover stories. The first, a cover featuring the Loud family (seen last year in a special television documentary) she approved of, feeling the documentary was worthwhile and deserving of recognition. The second was on “Exorcism,” which she felt was an important story, “but it would have been wrong to put the movie on the cover,” as had been previously suggested. “I thought the movie was so disgusting and to call the cover story “The Exorcist” rather than “Exorcism” would only serve to sell tickets to a revolting ripoff,” she ex plained. Bagdikian, who spoke after Alexander, said he favors “community press councils,” where citizens can meet with representatives of the media to criticize and discuss the media’s job. “There must be a dialogue between the public and the press,” Bagdikian said. “Readers see criticism of television and movies conveyed in newspapers, but no regular criticism columns on the newspaper medium itself,” he said. “Generally, the media is sensitive to criticism; even the worst publisher wants to be loved and respected. The press is not invulnerable to criticism.” The growth of big news chains has “established a level of acceptable mediocrity,” said Bagdikian. Chains, which own two-thirds of this nation’s daily newspapers, tend to have a ‘“Howard Johnson’s” affect on the industry, he said, comparing it to that restaurant chain where “the food won’t poison you,” but the meals aren’t known for their out standing virtues, either. Handicapped... (Continued from Page 1) ALERT have been struggling and easing the maze of red tape a handicapped student has to contend with. Through a slow but mostly rewarding fight, handicapped students are being listened to in Eugene. Casady has spoken to clubs, classes and legislators in an effort to publicize the problems and educate com munity people about the discrimination that exists. Except for a few“ignorant, bigoted” people the results have been favorable. Last year, Casady and other handicapped people lobbied for nine bills when the state legislature was in session. Each bill passed. Future decisions look op timistic for handicapped students on campus. Babcock who moved to Eugene three years ago from a North Carolina college with 25 out of 1,000 handicapped students, taught handicapped students to drive and knows what an ac cessible, convenient campus is.
