Starkweather News Coverage
Topic of Dooley's Monograph
lice headquarters, but also in
"running" stories on trial and
disasters, "serial"' stories and
'background' pieces, and all
with staffs only one-third to
one-thirtieth as large.
In Steeping its operations
healthy and free from scan
dal, the responsibility rests
with the local station, Dooley
says.
The Starkweather trial was
selected for the study because
of its several week duration
and its extensive coverage
necessitated by the w i d e
spread interest.
Based oa Interviews
The monograph is based
upon interviews with the re
spondent news directors in 13
radio and television stations in
the Lincoln-Omaha area, upon
questionnaires to the writers
professors' book.
the Sun" has been judged the
outstanding book on poetry
published in the United
States in 1350.
"Start it the Sun: Stud
ies in Cosmic Poetry" in-
By Tom Ketone
Radio, TV, and the Stark
weather Trial" is the title of
a monograph by Dr. John W.
Dooley, assistant professor
and head of radio-television
journalism at the University.
The performance and stated
motives for and against news
coverage in the Starkweather
trial and the adequacy and
quality of reporting by radio
and television stations is the
theme of the study.
Action Covered
By a comparison of the ac
tion of the trial with that
part of the action covered, the
report, apparently the' first of
its kind, is of particular value
to newsmen in evaluation of
the completeness of their
news coverage.
Emphasized throughout the
itudy is the need for "radio
and television to cover more
public events and to cover
them oa a regular basis."
Observing the automatic Ma
ture of today's broadcasting
throng the use of standard
wire copy and national net
work shows, Dooley challenges
radio-TV newsmen to "g into
the community and to find the
eews; i.e., to serve the com
munity in other ways than by
playing mask and s e 1 1 i g
vsed cars.'
The "second-class" status
radio and television "people"
in comparison with news
papermen is erroneous, Doo
ley says. This misconception,
be points out, is the result of
"non-performance" in n e w s
coverage by some stations and
of the employment of in e x
perieaeed "part-time" news-!
men.
Unfair
Dooley states that it is both
unfair to the stations and the ;
public and highly iinrealistk
to ask the man who tends tbei
copy or teletype of the station
to leave his desk and go into
the field or courtroom without '
previous experience.
Yet the "city staffs" of re-1
porters have more than held

Cnrrent status w the two

final enrollment and review,
with final reading expected to
come wilhia the next few
weeks.
"Funds from membership
dues and other sources have
been traditionally handled
through the society's treasury
as monies of the institution,"
Aeschbacber explained.
"But federal grants for
arcneological work aBd
grants from otber state
agencies often include func
tion, such as salaries, for
whick state tax mosey would
normally be expended.
LB 150. introduced by Sen
ators George Gerdes of Alli
ance and Joe Vosoba of Wil
bur, would provide for the es
Uhlifchment of such a fund in
the state treasury while LB
151 specifies the types of
monies to be deposited in it
and respondents of these sta
tions, and upon examination of
the newscast files of seven of
these stations.
Under criticism was the
practice of selling news bul
letins to advertisers on the
progress of a trial whose end
result may be the taking of
human life by the state.
"The strictly limited num
ber of stations who may ase
the ah- waves," Dooley com
ments, "necessitates the li
censing of only those stations
which serve the greatest pub
lic Interest, convenience, and
necessity
Dooley emphasizes that the
responsible day to day cov
erage is both a goal and an
answer regarding the future
of news coverage by the elec
tronic media.

Rise joyful to the pleasant
