Reporters Stay a Long-Distance Call Away
Date: 10 October 1993

WHEN the first Navy Seals slithered onto the Somali beachhead last December, faces streaked with camouflage paint, commando knives at the ready, they were startled to find themselves suddenly awash in television lights, their landing recorded by scores of paunchy journalists waiting on the sand in cut-off jeans and shower clogs. But last weekend, when an Army Ranger company was decimated raiding a warlord's hideout, losing more than a dozen soldiers killed, scores wounded, two helicopters downed and a relief column ambushed, there were no American reporters in the country.

THE MEDIA BUSINESS;
The Pressures Rise, and Circulation Falls, for Oakland's New Tribune
Date: 11 October 1993

At times, the fortunes of this city of 375,000 have been linked to the financial ups and downs of The Oakland Tribune, a 119-year-old daily.
In the summer of 1991, the city was already bruised by the damage of the 1989 earthquake and the financial wounds of a struggling local economy; later that year, a fire would consume entire neighborhoods in the city's hills. The Tribune, meanwhile, had became so burdened by debt that its doom seemed near, and civic and church leaders rallied subscribers and investors so that Oakland would not be known as the largest city in America without its own paper.
Criticism of Coverage
But the relations between this city, whose population is predominantly black, and the newspaper have cooled in the last 10 months, ever since the newspaper changed hands. Robert C. Maynard, the prominent black journalist who ran the paper with his wife, Nancy, sold The Tribune to the Alameda Newspaper Group, part of the Houston-based Media News Group, which operates The Houston Post, The Denver Post and other newspapers. (Mr. Maynard died in August.)

Mr. Clinton's Dark Night
Date: 10 October 1993
President Clinton hasn't found the time to speak out publicly as House Democrats toy with ways to weaken his proposed campaign finance reform legislation. But he did manage to squeeze in an appearance last week at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee's $1,500-a-plate fund-raising dinner. It was a sneak appearance in the truest sense. To avoid embarrassing pictures of the populist-sounding President hobnobbing with lobbyists and the other influential high-rollers who populated most of the tables at the black-tie event, the White House took an extraordinary step. It barred reporters, photographers and camera crews from the room.

Does Coverage Polarize Elections?
Date: 10 October 1993
To the Editor: "Clinton Hits a Nerve on Race," (editorial, Sept. 30) highlights the tendency of voters to follow racial lines in biracial contests, often in response to campaign rhetoric. But you ignore how the mass media's poll-driven, horse-race coverage of elections may exacerbate this tendency.

The New Four F's For Women
Date: 10 October 1993
To the Editor: The four F's of newspapers' "women's pages" ("Pages Of Their Own?" Oct. 3), are no longer food, fashions, family and furnishings. Today's working woman is concerned with "femily" (a household headed by a single woman), F.O.H. (Friends of Hillary), financial planning and "fairy tales" (as R. W. Jackson, in "The Diabolical Dictionary of Modern English," calls "romance, job satisfaction, stress management, privacy, money in the bank, and other grims"). MARJORIE WOLFE Syosset, L.I.
