They are at best wary colleagues: one gets all the glamour and pay, while the other does most of the grunt work. Last month the Poynter Institute for Media Studies in St. Petersburg, Fla., brought the two sides together to discuss press credibility. There were a few sharp words. Miffed at the cracks about TV entertainment, Don Hewitt, producer of CBS's 60 Minutes, wondered about "all that junk"--advice columns, features, horoscopes--in newspapers.
