Conventions As TV News: Tradition In Transition
Date: 13 July 1992
By Elizabeth Kolbert

A message to viewers of the Democratic National Convention: Watch carefully. This may be the last chance you get. Predictable, plodding, often even soporific, the last few party conventions have attracted so few viewers that this summer they will receive less network television coverage than ever before. Four years from now, some network news executives say, the conventions might not be broadcast live at all.

THE 1992 CAMPAIGN: Media; Cutbacks in Network Broadcasts Leave Room for Newcomers

There is no better sign of what the networks think of the Democratic National Convention than the fact that Comedy Central, the all-gag cable network, plans more comprehensive, albeit irreverent, broadcasts of the political spectacle than do ABC, CBS or NBC. Among the options for viewers who want more of the convention than the hour or so of prime-time broadcasts that the major networks plan each night will be Comedy Central's "Indecision '92." Or, for viewers who want less on Tuesday night, CBS will offer little more than brief updates squeezed between innings of the baseball All-Star Game.

Obituaries on TV: Pittsburgh Sorely Feels a Newspaper Strike
Date: 12 July 1992
In the early evening, as part of the nightly news, the names begin to scroll slowly across the television screen. Reverent piano music plays in the background, and alongside the people's names are their ages, hometowns and funeral homes. It is the nightly obituary show, broadcast every evening by local television stations in one of the more amazing innovations for spreading information in a city now entering its third month without major local newspapers.

If you and yours have ever tried to attend a national political convention, then you already know how hard it is to get even festival seating. Why?
Probably because you were woefully undercredentialed. Most people simply lack the time or interest to join a major news outlet just to acquire one-time security clearance. Still others have criminal records. Either way, you and your family are left out on the street with the protesters and hookers, while inside thousands of fully accredited journalists are whooping it up, taking in the platform debate of Paul Tsongas's gas tax, for example.

When to Beat Up on Political TV
Date: 13 July 1992
The first gavel hasn't even fallen on the Democratic Convention today but already the air buzzes with hot words about how crassly television is compressing its coverage of politics. One criticism concerns the compression of hours: How dare the networks limit their live coverage so drastically? A different criticism concerns the compression of seconds -- the steady truncation of sound bites, the on-camera quotations from candidates.

Democrats Display a New Optimism, Reflected in Poll
Date: 13 July 1992

Fired by new optimism about Gov. Bill Clinton's appeal, Democrats will open a national convention in New York today that their leaders describe as a carefully scripted kickoff for a party more eager to win this fall than to argue this week. The Democrats' new sense of possibilities was underscored by the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll, which shows Mr. Clinton gaining ground in a tight three-way race. Mr. Clinton now essentially ties President Bush when voters are asked how they would vote if the election were held today: Mr. Bush is at 33 percent, Mr. Clinton at 30 percent, and Ross Perot, the all-but-declared independent candidate, is at 25 percent. Improving Popularity Even more important to the Arkansas Governor is the improvement in voters' views of him personally over the last month, after a primary campaign that left his image in tatters. During the same period, Mr. Perot's image continued to decline, while Mr. Bush's ratings on job performance, economic stewardship and personal image remained remarkably weak for an incumbent President.

Essay; Wildflowers in N.Y.C.

My first job in journalism was folding the "guts," or weekend sections, of The New York Times into the main news section on Saturday nights behind the subway kiosk on 91st Street and Broadway. The pay was half a buck an hour, only fair for a 12-year- old in 1942, but a fire in an oil drum kept us warm on early November nights and there was the thrill of being in the newspaper business. Across the street was a political storefront for the Democratic Congressman, but the pols there were chary about handing out literature and doodads to hang around your neck to kids. My buddy Marty and I preferred the upstairs headquarters of the American Labor Party candidate, Vito Marcantonio, who may have been a Communist but was great on distributing buttons, which we would take in fistfuls and pass out to friends who had no political or media connections.

A NEW FACE FOR AMERICAN LABOR
Date: 12 July 1992
It is ironic that John P. Scanlon, who spearheaded the ill-fated public-relations campaign against the unions of The Daily News, is now using the Letters column of The New York Times Magazine to continue his attacks (Letters, June 21, in response to "A New Face for American Labor," by Sam Roberts, May 10). Scanlon berates Dennis Rivera for his "knee-jerk support for unions that have notoriously excluded people of color." Permit me to supply the facts that Scanlon omitted.
