By MARK KILLINGSWORTH
"The penalties of missing rele-
vant signals in life get more im-
portant all the time," Ben Bag-
dikian, prize-winning journalist
and author, said recently, but
"the press has been dangerously
narrow in the range of ideas that
it has presented as acceptable."
The ideal of newspapers and
newsmen is that they are "above
politics," but, Bagdikian declared,
this is clearly impossible. Because
an accelerating world makes,
events harder and harder to report,
and because newspapers cannot
possibly report all of them, he
said, the press must necessarily
focus on certain events.
The proper focus "requires more
sophistication and has more mar-
gin for error than any other part
of the journalistic process."
Pearl Harbor
Citing the role of newspapers'
in Hawaii prior to the Japanese
attack of Pearl Harbor, Bagdikian
commented that the New York
Times' Pacific coverage was "prob-
ably as good or better than diplo-
matic cables." Washington offi-
cials, who read the Times, assum-
ed that U.S. officials in Hawaii
were doing so also, and based
their instructions to them accord-
ingly.
However, since it took a week
for the Times to reach Honolulu,
Bagdikian went on, the island's
officials relied on Hawaiian news-
papers' coverage, which was "un-
sophisticated a n d inaccurate."
It was this, more than any other
single factor, Bagdikian declared,
that resulted in the disastrous un-
preparedness at Pearl Harbor.
Analogy
Something analogous often oc-
curs due to press coverage of
political and economic maiters, he
added.
"When they deal with abstrac-
tions or =something unfamiliar to
people and as a head of a godlessl
corporation," and thus his news-
paper's tone "tends to be that of
the commercial community, and
thus more conservative than its<
readers."
Two-Thirds1
He declared that two-thirds oft
the country's liberal congressmeni
come from districts with news-i
papers that are predominantly
conservative in outlook. And, since
the newspaper is quite frequently
a local monopoly, it can do this
and yet will not suffer, Bagdikian
added, saying that the press "can
become detached from prevalent
political values and survive." 1
Bagdikian noted, however, that
newspapers seem to be undergoingf
"long-overdue changes," primarily,
because the businessman, who
"now sees very clearly that gov-
ernment policy is a necessary and
valuable influence," has also
changed.
He noted that 42 per cent of
the country's newspapers support-
ed President Johnson during the
campaign, in contrast to 35 per
cent who supported Senator Barry
Goldwater.
