The big news-big business bargain
Article Abstract:
Conglomerates owning news divisions are working a mutually supportive bargain which includes the corporations' support to newspeople in exchange for accurate stories from them. Corporate managers interfering with news stories must expect adverse criticism from the newspeople, while newspeople should realize that inaccurate stories will draw the ire of managers. Any corporate body knows the benefits of owning a national news operation as it gives access to political clout and enhances the image of the corporation.

High ideals and troubling news
Article Abstract:
A photo of Martin Luther King, Jr. the day before his murder in Memphis, TN, portrays a pensive man. King's dreams of racial harmony appeared farther than ever from realization as he witnessed a nightmare of rancorous racial conflict across the nation. Soon after the photograph was take, King would deliver his final speech in that city where he was to tell the audience of his delight that God had seen it fit for him to climb to the mountain and view a promised land that he might not be able to visit.
