Robert J. Seymour, executive editor of the Harrisburg Patriot (circ. 47,866) and Evening News (circ. 71,893), defended the decision: "We felt our readers would best be served by a full and complete story at the end rather than by whatever bits and pieces we could have picked up at the time." Many of his colleagues disagree sharply. Jim Snavely, a reporter for the Daily Record (circ. 36,001) and president of the Newspaper Guild local, is asking his membership for a resolution condemning the blackout. Daily Record Managing Editor Eli F. Sliver, one of those present when...
Like most medium-sized American cities, Wichita has been served by news organizations heavy with broadcast outlets and light on print. The Wichita area (pop. 400,000) has four local TV stations and ten radio stations, but only two daily papers. The morning Eagle (circ. 129,000) and the evening Beacon (58,000) are both owned by the absentee Ridder chain and share a single editorial staff. Efforts to organize a quality paper to compete with the bland Eagle and Beacon have repeatedly failed...
...Roman Catholic traditionalists are more widely respected, even by ideological opponents, than Journalist Dale Francis. A veteran of three decades of Catholic publishing, Francis almost singlehanded has edited the National Catholic Register (circ. 90,000) as an effective voice of Catholic conservatism since Schick Millionaire Patrick J. Frawley Jr. bought the paper in 1970. So dedicated was Francis that he took no vacation during those four years...
Field & Stream (circ. 1,860,000), a monthly devoted to duck hunting, fishing and other woodsy pursuits, hardly seems like a cockpit of ideological controversy. Yet in recent weeks its owner, the Columbia Broadcasting System, has been the target of angry letters and calls from the environment and conservation lobbies. Some of the protests came from members of Congress, including Henry Reuss, chairman of the House Subcommittee on Conservation and Natural Resources. Then 50 irate conservationists waved placards in front of CBS's Washington office. Cause of the wrath: the firing of Field & Stream's widely known conservation...
...Ridder papers include such varied properties as the Journal of Commerce, a useful if pork-belly plain compendium of business news; Colorado's folksy Boulder Daily Camera (circ. 22,380); and the St. Paul Pioneer Press and Dispatch, which occasionally outshines its bigger Twin City sisters. In general, however, the Ridder papers do not have the heft and influence of the Knight dailies. Though the Knight brothers are both conservatives, the papers are what Hills describes as "central progressive." In the 1972 election six Knight papers endorsed Richard Nixon and two backed George McGovern; only two echoed John Knight...
