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.
