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."

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.
