Exposés & Affidavits. The Oregonian (circ. 230,850) was braced for the shocked reaction its exposé caused among readers. What it did not expect was a violent counterattack from its rival daily, the Oregon Journal (circ. 181,489). Soundly beaten on the story and unable to lay hands on the tape-recorded evidence, the Journal sent a reporter along with D.A. Langley on a hoked-up raid on an Elkins aide who had some tapes in his possession. The tapes were turned over to the Journal reporter, who allowed the Teamster organizer to copy them, and were then...
...Oregonian-Journal battle had a parallel in Seattle, Beck's headquarters, where the Times (circ. 190,789) teamed eagerly with the Oregonian on the story and Hearst's Post-Intelligencer (circ. 208,224) did its best to ignore the scandal (TIME, March 11). When Beck returned from Europe last month, he at first refused to be interviewed by any newsman except the PI's Douglass Welch-who with P-I Editorial Writer Nard Jones has turned out a Horatio Algerish version of Beck's life struggle. Later, when the Times gleefully quoted Beck's admission...

Many other editors back up Washington's Friendly, J. Edward Murray, managing editor of the Los Angeles Mirror-News (circ. 307,858), notes that most projects want a reporter not "as an individual, but as a representative of a newspaper." Added Managing Editor Harvey Patton of the Detroit News: "As an old city hall reporter, I know that you are always being told things in confidence, and if a reporter belongs to a group and learns things in confidence, he can't do a good job as a reporter." Editor Fred W. Stein of the Binghamton (N.Y.) Press...
...Hudson County, where annual county and city elections are among the liveliest in the U.S., newsmen who are willing to turn out speeches and publicity for political candidates have long found a rewarding short-term market for their talents. Reporters on Sam Newhouse's Jersey Journal (circ. 98,565) have enjoyed a virtual monopoly as political pressagents. The opposition Hudson Dispatch, the county's only other comparable pool of literary talent, has traditionally barred its employees from participating in political campaigns, while the Journal's policy has been to grant staffers leaves of absence...
