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
