Pollock and Lundstrom found that the newspapers did not eliminate themselves from the responsibility for keeping gov ernmental news channels open. One editor reported: "A good reporter can always get the news if he's willing to dig. However, most reporters seem to have the attitude that everything should be laid out for them, and it just doesn't work this way. If the newspaper is willing to back up a good re porter with a little editorial force, any department of govern ment can become an open book. This has. to be 'done sometimes to get the needed cooperation, but any elected official doesn't hold office by operating in sec recy if there is a good news paper in town." The student researchers con cluded that the laws of Nebraska do not clearly guide the office holders as to what is public in formation. Further, Pollock and Lundstrom reported, some of the newspapers have not insisted that these officeholders release information. - "Much ado has been made in recent years about the expand ing 'paper curtain' of secrecy in the bulging bureaucracy of fed eral government, especially in Washington," the report stated, "but little attention has been paid to the same 'paper curtain' of secrecy in government at America's crossroads more specifically, Nebraska." Pollock and Lundstrom noted that efforts thus far to pass a Freedom of Information law for Nebraska have failed, but, said the students, these efforts "must be continued using every legitimate method to enlist sup portuntil such n law U pnrt of the states code." Pollock is now news editor of the Sidney (Neb.) Telegraph. Lundstrom is a member of the staff of United Press Interna tional in Omaha.
