Atwater sees his school as a training ground for a new generation of journalists, preparing for an increasingly challenging profession. Missouri combines a strong academic program with practical training, including work on a university TV station and on the Columbia Missourian, a small-city newspaper (circ. 6,500) put out by the journalism school. "The Missourian is a competitive commercial daily," says Atwater, "and we do all the local news programming for the station." More important, he says, "we give students a sense of how journalists should perform in a world where morally and technically complex stories have become contentious...
...that matter the readers, often frets that the new management will give an old friend a gaudy new face. That worry rippled through Houston in October after the family of Texas Lieutenant Governor William Hobby sold the city's oldest (founded 1885) daily, the cautious, folksy Post (circ. 402,000), for $100 million to perhaps the ultimate absentees: Canadians.

That turnabout last month prompted the weekly Boston Phoenix (circ. 83,650) to attack the city's news organs, including itself; it placed special blame on the dominant daily Globe (circ. 515,000). Said Phoenix Publisher Stephen Mindich: "It is a clear example of irresponsibility, and it creates distrust among the public." Globe Editor Winship replies, "It was an important, live story. We were evenhanded then, and we are re-examining...
...Harper & Row and the Reader's Digest Association were set to publish A Time to Heal, an account by Gerald Ford of his life and presidency. Shortly before the book was due out, the Nation (circ. 48,000), a leftist weekly, summarized Ford's account of his pardon of Richard Nixon, using a stolen copy of the book without Ford's permission. A U.S. district court ruled that the Nation had taken the former President's work in violation of the federal copyright laws, and directed the magazine to pay the publishers damages...
