Kurtenbach chides press Citing a "corrupt hierarchy" and the "scandalous" reporting, Ron Kurtenbach Wednesday night attacked Omaha and Lincoln newspapers while speaking to Sigma Delta Chi, a professional journalism society. Kurtenbach is a director of the Lincoln Gazette, a leftist newspaper. Kurtenbach said that many times news has not been reported or reported untruthfully because of pressure. For example, he said a Lincoln Journal reporter told him that he personally supported distributing the Gazette on Lincoln public school grounds. The reporter then editorialized against distribution, Kurtenbach said. Hfe "also said that reporters should "share their perceptions" instead of being strictly objective. "At the Gazette, every reporter is his own editor." We say things that they should have," Kurtenbach said, referring to the local papers. "If we discover corruption in ourselves, we print it." The Gazette currently has a circulation of 6,000 and made $200 from donations the last issue, Kurtenbach reported. He also criticized radio and television, and said he hopes to start a radio station with a "flexible format." Referring to CBS news commentator Walter Cronkite, Kurtenbach said: "It's too bad he didn't come out of his objective shell." He said he believes Cronkite was disgusted with the Vietnam war, but could not express his views on the air. He said he believes the Gazette's anti-war, anti-Nixon, women's liberation, and other stands are "a reflection of a movement." He said he thinks more people are. going to "organize and rebel" against current reporting practices.
