On the Air By ELEANOR WIESE American aid to Africa takes unexpected forms-irora moving an Egyptian temple to save it from the waters of the Aswan dam, to instruct ing African journalists in ef fective radio and TV news reporting. During July and August, under the auspices of the African-American Institute, a team of four American ex perts in mass media will con duct seminar workshops in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; Dar Es Salaam, Tanganyika; and Lagos, Nigeria. Correspondent Mai Goode of ABC News' United Nations Bureau will teach radio and television news methods and production. Other American journalists participating in the seminars are: Burton Marvin, dean of the William Allen White School of Jour nalism at the University of Kansas; John McCormally, editor of the Hutchison News, Hutchison, Kan., and Dr. Sid ney W. Head and Mrs. Mar garet E. Pollard of the AAI taff. The purpose of the AAI's course in press, radio and TV journalism is "to stimulate professional growth of parti cipating newsmen by giving them an opportunity to learn more about the journalistic methods and standards em ployed in America; to discuss their mutual professional problems, and to sharpen their awareness of effective news techniques." I wonder about the ulti mate worth of such instruc tion. In our eagerness to share our extensive experi ence in radio and television, particularly, there is the dan- ser of stifling what original- Jty the Africans, or any other nation, might contribute to the media. If world radio and TV news reporting, and eventually en tertainment programs, a r patterned after us, much of the excitement and fascina tion of international broad casts via communications sat ellites could be lost. Familiar formats such as the "Good right, Chet, Goodnight, Dav id" news twins aired from every continent would have little appeal. If countries learning handle communications media new to them can apply our know-how In the mechanics of production, yet retain their uniaue national characteris tics, then such instruction the African-American Insti tute is offering is worthwhile TWENTIETH CENTURY, 6 p.m. Sunday KBES-TV; Part 1 of two Darts concerning the mentally ill.
