...press. This is most evident in the growth of a new species of newsman, the full-time local TV critic, who on many papers matches judgments daily with such syndicated TV pundits as the Herald Tribune's John Crosby, the New York Times's Jack Gould, Hearst's Jack O'Brian-and often comes out ahead. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer's Bill Jahn, who runs monthly popularity polls that frequently draw more than 1,000 returns, tagged Jack (Dragnet) Webb and Lawrence ("Champagne Music") Welk as coming stars months before they received national recognition...

The counterblasts were soon rolling in from all over Asia, where the Dulles-Wilson ruling had been hailed...
...Khrushchev was obviously enterprising, informative journalism, and in getting it, CBS followed the example of other firms which could just as easily be characterized as commercial. The New York Times recently front-paged an interview with Khrushchev by its managing editor Turner Catledge. At least twice since the war, Hearst newsmen have headlined Moscow interviews, one of them far more tightly tailored to Kremlin preconditions, and the other deemed worthy of a Pulitzer Prize to William Randolph Hearst Jr. and Hearstmen Frank Conniff and Kingsbury Smith. Said Joseph Alsop, who last February interviewed Khrushchev for the New York Herald Tribune...
