Rivera: Get ready for Taco Bell
Photo by Tad Kirk
Last night Geraldo Rivera spoke to UNL students in
what might be the last speaker appearance paid for
by student fees. Rivera is a broadcast journalist with
the ABC network.
The most imDortant asDect of a news srnrv is its
fairness, not its objectivity, according to Geraldo Rivera,
a New York broadcast journalist.
Rivera spoke to and answered the questions of about
800 people in the Nebraska Union Centennial Room
Sunday evening.
A reporter with WABC of New York, Rivera hosted
Good Night America and has co-hosted Good Morning
America, both ABC network programs.
Objectivity is impossible because each reporter has
had different experiences which color his reporting, said
Rivera in a press conference before his formal presen
tation. 'The thing to look for is to see if the story has been
fair," said Rivera.
He said he hopes journalists of the future will be freed
from traditional constraints and become more activist
journalists.
"I think that maybe well see more like me," he said.
Before becoming a journalist, Rivera was a lawyer
representing what he called "non-political, poor people."
He said he used the law as an instrument of social
change but became frustrated at how little he was accom
plishing and became a journalist when offered the oppor
tunity to reach "tens of millions of people."
Through his work exposing the conditions of people
in the ghetto and of people in other opporessed cond
tions, he said he has become known as a ghetto jour
nalist. His role gives him a chance to show how "these people,
living in these areas, are more like other Americans than
unlike them," said Rivera.
He also talked about his later stories that revealed the
conditions of an institution for the mentally retarded. He
called the results of that story his greatest triumph.
'The difference between me now, as a broadcast
journalist, and me as a radical lawyer is that it was easy
to resort to rhetoric and demagoguery.
"People like me are responsible for the lack of interest
in social change. There were so many false promises.
"I refuse to raise false hope," he said.
Rivera, the last speaker to be funded by mandatory
student fees, said the action is a curtailment of students'
freedom of speech.
He said he was surprised that Jane Fonda's appearance
had catalized the Regents' action because she was part of
the 60s movements and is less controversial now.
'The action of the Regents is decision of the 60s.
"I hope you get used to hearing speakers from Taco
Bell or Burger King," Rivera said.
