He eloquently defended
Nightline s policy of giving
a forum to Soviet commen-
tators in Moscow or neo-
Nazi leaders because if we
deny those with whom we
disagree a forum, than we'd
become more like them."
Despite the serious tone
in his prepared remarks,
'Koppel delighted the crowd
with several juicy stories
about his experiences
flying around with Kissin-
ger and with a long ex-
planation of why he
accepted the offer to speak
at Hopkins — in part, he
said, because his 14-year-
old son wants to go to col-
lege there and Koppel
hoped to "score a few
points" with the university
powers that be.
During a 45-minute
question and answer ses-
sion with the audience, he
defined news as that which
is extraordinary and in one
form or another affects our
lives." He said he sub-
scribes to newsman Ay
Westin's three key ques=
tions that each TV news
viewer wants answered: is
my world safe, is my home
safe, am I safe?
As for why there isn't
more "good" news on televi-
sion, he asserted that "you
need us to tell you what the
government doesn't want
you to know about them."
He added that there are
twice as many press officers
in Washington than there
are reporters (about 12,006-
to 6,000) so the public_
shouldn't worry about the
government not being able
to make its case.
Finally, when asked by a
student when he would re-
turn to Hopkins to do a
Viewpoint show, a live 90-
minute program on media
criticism that ABC airs
from time to time on va-
rious campuses, Koppel re-
plied immediately when
my son graduates from
Hopkins."

with the fact that "TV
has become the arbiter of
our taste and aspira-
tions." Television, he
said, has "raised voy-
eurism to an art form"
and most news reporting
deals with such accidents
as fires and disasters be-
cause "they are visual,
they are easy to cover,
they are pointless. And
because reporting ideas
on TV is infinitely more
difficult." As a result, he
said, the operative con-
cept in TV is to first re-
duce everything to its
lowest common de-
nominator. "We reduce
things to cliches and
stereotypes," he said.
