WhereIstheNewsLeadingUs?

NotlongagoIwasaskedtojoininapublicsymposiumontheroleoftheAmericanpress.Twootherspeakerswereincludedontheprogram.ThefirstwasadistinguishedTVanchorman.Theotherwastheeditorofoneofthenation'sleadingpapers,anewsmantothecore--tough,aggressive,andsavvyinthewaysandmeansofsolidreporting.

Thepurposeofthesymposium,asIunderstoodit,wastoscrutinizetheobligationsofthemediaandtosuggestthebestwaystomeetthoseobligations.

Duringtheopen-discussionperiod,agentlemanintheaudienceaddressedaquestiontomytwocolleagues.Why,heasked,arethenewspapersandthetelevisionnewsprogramssodisaster-prone?Whyarenewsmenandwomensoattractedtotragedy,violence,failure?

Theanchormanandeditorreactedasthoughtheyhadbeenblamedfortheexistenceofbadnews.Newsmenandnewswomen,theysaid,areonlyresponsibleforreportingthenews,notforcreatingitormodifyingit.

Perhapsitwouldbeusefulheretoexaminethewaywedefinethewordnews,forthisiswheretheproblembegins.NewsisSupposedtodealwithhappeningsofthepast12hours--24hoursalmost.Anythingthathappenssosuddenly,however,isapttobeeruptive.Asniperkillssomepedestrians;aterroristholds250peoplehostageinaplane;OPECannouncesa25percentincreaseinpetroleumprices;GreatBritaindevaluesbyanother10percent;atruckconveyingradioactivewastescollideswithamobilecementmixer.

Myhopeisthattheprofessionofjournalismwillsoonseeitsresponsibilityinawiderperspective.Thetimehascometoconsidertheexistenceofalargeareaofhumanhappeningsthatlegitimatelyqualifyasnews.Forexample,howmanynewsarticleshavebeenwrittenaboutnitrogen-fixation(固氮作用)--theprocessbywhichplantscanbemadeto"Fix"theirownnitrogen,thusreducingtheneedforfertilizer?Scientistsallovertheworldarenowpursuingthisprospectinthehopeofcombatingfamine.HowmuchisknownabouttherevolutionarychangesbeingmadeinincreasingthericeharvestintheFarEast?Thereareliterallydozensofsimilarimportantdevelopmentsintheworldthatareworthyofinclusioninanyroundupofmajornewsstories.
