COMES IN THIRD
O'Brien Bobette Breck
enridge's quarter-horse brood
mare, Bunny, won third place
in competition with 27 other
mares at Josephine County
Fair. Third place award en
titles the owner to have t h e
mare bred to a famous Mor
gan-horse, Arana Field, own
ed by Phil and Ruth Morrison
of Grants Pass. Bunny was
purchased from C. C. Hoover
of Kerby.
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.
