One of the things that makes a news reporter's life inter esting is the problem of discerning fact from propaganda. For many people propaganda may appear to be just a vague term having something to do with the Soviet Union. In actuality propaganda plays a most important part in the lives of all human beings. A high percentage of all deci sions that are made by individuals and groups are made as a result of some form of propaganda. We enjoyed reading a Mail Tribune editorial shortly aft er last spring's primary election which outlined seven basic propaganda techniques that in turn had been phrased by an organization called the Institute of Propaganda Analysis. These techniques were name calling, fettering generalities, transfer device (identifying a cause w-'.h some time-honored institution), endorsement by prominent persons, plain folks (decrying experts and outsiders), innuendo, and bandwagon (statements like "Everyone's on our side.") To this list might be added an eighth technique, just plain exaggeration. People seem to love tn exaggerate, particularly when they are voicing a complaint. One can have a little fun considering complaints and other state ments that frequently reach reporters' ears in an effort to read between the lines and figure out what really happened. "That Article Did . . . " Here are a few examples, each followed by a little con jecture in parentheses as to what the truth of the situation might have been: "A lot of people didn't like that story you wrote." ("I told three or four people how much I didn't like that story and they nodded their heads.") "You made a couple of bad goofs in that story." (You failed to state what a fine organization we have.") "The paper never prints anything about our town." ("We rarely send in any articles and when reporters come around we keep our mouths shut.") "That article did me a lot of harm." ("Some people came into my shop and kidded me about it.") "My telephone rang all night because of that story." ("I got four or five cals; then I called up a couple of other fellows to see what they thought.") "You haven't lived here as long as I have; so you don't understand all the problems." ("Everybody in town is re lated to me in one way or another, so what hurts them hurts me.") "That story hurt the progress of our community." ("Not much has been done around here for the last 50 years and we want to keep it that way.") "I like to approach things with an open mind." ("As long as you agree with me you won't have any trouble") "Why wasn't that story in last night's paper?" ("So what if I did give it to you just five minutes before your dead line.") "I want that story printed exactly the way I wrote it." (". . . including every incomplete sentence and misspelled word. ) Coakley on Capital Punishment Apoligies to California's GOP candidate for attorney gen eral, Judge Tom Coakley. In our story of Aug. 20 we man aged to say that he was opposed to capital punishment. He isn't. In our story of Aug. 27 concerning Coakley's op ponent, Democratic incumbent Stanley Mosk, we got it right, but the original story was wrong. Capital punishment is one of the issues in the attorney general campaign in California, as Mosk is for abolishing it and Coakley is for retaining It. f 'A w -i4 SHY CALLAGHAN Running for Mayor Shy Callaghan To Run for EP Mayor Hunter Safety Class To Start Thursday At Shady Cove School Shady Cove-A hunter safe ty course for boys 12 and over will start here ""hursday.
