When News Is A Crime

One of Secretary of State Baker's aims in the Middle East is, in his words, "to find a way for Israel and Palestinians to begin a dialogue." If anyone thinks that will be easy, here is a story to dispel the illusion. Taher Shriteh is a journalist in Gaza, a Palestinian who reports on events in that part of the territories occupied by Israel. He does part-time work for a large number of Western news organizations, among them The New York Times, Reuters, the BBC, CBS News and the Voice of America.

Fate of The News Is Up to British Publisher
Date: 04 March 1991
By Craig R. Whitney, Special To the New York Times
Craig Whitney
The final fate of New York's swashbuckling tabloid, The Daily News, now seems to rest in the hands of a British publisher, Robert Maxwell, who has never left any doubts about who is the boss at any newspaper he owns. The $50 million failure in 1987 of a new afternoon tabloid, The London Daily News, taught Mr. Maxwell a lesson. "I made certain," he said later, "that never again would I launch a paper and leave it in the hands of the professionals."

The News Offers to Sell For No Money Up Front

Were Robert Maxwell -- or anyone else, for that matter -- to buy The Daily News, he would not pay a penny up front for the paper, according to a person familiar with the sale terms set by the owner, the Tribune Company of Chicago. Instead the real price of The News is said to be a purchaser who is willing to assume some of its long-term liabilities. The negotiations with Mr. Maxwell's representatives will undoubtedly concentrate on which liabilities the British publisher would assume and which the Tribune Company would honor.

The publisher of The Daily News said yesterday that the 71-year-old newspaper, once the largest daily in the country, would be closed on March 15 unless it could be sold to a new owner. The announcement moves up by five days a previous deadline that the publisher, James Hoge, set in January, and begins the final act in the prolonged, often painful drama of The Daily News.

Despite their satisfaction with the coverage of the Persian Gulf war, the three broadcast networks face serious economic consequences from the war's costs, and one or more news divisions may be compelled to cut budgets and staff. The Cable News Network, however, says it plans to increase its budget and its international news coverage.

Sister Papers Become Direct Rivals in Philadelphia

Philadelphians are awakening this morning to an old-fashioned newspaper war with a novel twist. Starting today, The Philadelphia Daily News, the city's feisty afternoon tabloid, will be published in the morning, hitting newsstands early enough to catch city residents and suburban commuters on their way to work. The change will allow the paper -- which, like most other afternoon dailies, has been losing readers for years -- to compete directly with the city's pre-eminent publication, The Philadelphia Inquirer.

After briefing the press and millions of Americans on the progress of wars in Panama and the Persian Gulf, Lieut. Gen. Thomas William Kelly, director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, announced at the Pentagon today that he was making his last appearance before television cameras and reporters. "I'd just like to say that believe it or not, I've enjoyed this little interlude," the 58-year-old general said.

Critic's Notebook; Broadcasters in the Gulf And What They Merit

With victory in the Persian Gulf come thoughts of medals. Nominations for the Gulfie Awards having been opened in these pages by William Safire, herewith a few candidates who, by design or happenstance, have lightened the hours of at least one constant viewer of the war on television. All deserve a little statue of Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, who is a shoo-in for New Face of 1991. To Tom Brokaw of NBC, a nomination for the Don't Leave Home Without Your Tailor Award. Whatever the clime or conditions, viewers could count on Mr. Brokaw to be stylishly layered and color coordinated, not just in clothes but in outfits: sand against sky blue, open collar against turtle neck, informality with a touch of dash. One imagines the daily pre-engagement inspection for hang and flair by a high official of Hunting World. By comparison, Dan Rather seemed to have thrown together his costume from remnants of a sidewalk rummage sale in the East Village. Mr. Brokaw is also up for the Most Original Comment of the War Award. In the course of reporting President Bush's statement setting a deadline for Iraq's withdrawal from Kuwait, the NBC anchor may have become the first journalist in history to compliment a public official for taking no questions from the press.

Facing Satiric Thrusts, Dinkins Parries
Date: 04 March 1991
Facing an audience of his most persistent observers, chroniclers and critics, Mayor David N. Dinkins proved Saturday night what he has long insisted: He cannot carry a tune in a bucket. But he could and did shed his self-control long enough to poke sharper fun at himself than the City Hall reporters who spoofed him. Mr. Dinkins's rebuttal to the annual Inner Circle show at the New York Hilton, this year called "Empty Pockets, Empty Suits," went well beyond the slapdash mayoral ripostes of past years. It was a complete playlet, in which Mr. Dinkins took swipes at his tormentors, his aides and himself.

Forgotten Friends
Date: 05 March 1991
By A. M. Rosenthal

This is a letter of regret to certain foreign friends with whom I have lost touch since Iraq began the Persian Gulf war in August. They are men and women who live in danger because they struggle against oppression, in their own lands, far from the Middle East.
