Print comes to life for 'Good Today'
Media experts theorize that bv the
print journalism as we know it will be extinct, replaced by
television. The only way print can survive, the experts say,
is to adopt many of commercial TV's techniques.
Since the Daily Nebraskan is a morning paper, and
should be competing with TV, this column is pleased to
( oyS
j: Mike Frost
publish the pilot of the first print wake-up show: "Good
Today, UNL."
It has all the features of "Good Morning America" or
"Today": an affable host (me), an established news team
(the Daily Nebraskan) and features (by UNL personnel in
stead of newscasters). Here, then, is "Good Today, UNL."
"Good today, UNL, it's Thursday, Sept. 23, the take
off second day of autumn and boy it's beginning to feel
like fall out there, isn't it?
"My name is Mike Frost and on this page, we'll be
looking at that NFL players' strike, plus we'll have a
review of the new Kenny Rogers flick. But first, here are
the latest corrections from the Daily Nebraskan news
desk. Good today, DN."
"Good today, Mike. Our top correction this morning:
We erroneously reported yesterday that Israel had invaded
West Berlin. That should have read west Beirut. Similarly,
Prime Minister MenacherrT Begin had a cabinet meeting at
his home in Jersualem, not Shaker Heights, Ohio, as pre
viously reported.
"In other corrections, Regent Robert Prokop did not
urge students to "blow off classes and head over to
O'Rourke's," as we mistakenly reported. Rather, the
regent's quote should have read "Did you ever notice Wile
E. Coyote never says anything, no matter what happens to
him?"
"Good today."
"Good today, DN, thank you. Well, I guess we're all
wondering about the NFL player's strike. Here with all
the sports news is the UNL history department. Good
today, history department."
"Good today, Mike. Many of you probably are
wondering why the players are going on strike. Why,
you're asking, are these men who play professional foot
ball for a living refusing to do so until they get more
money? The question, to sum it up, is why the strike?
"Strikes may be defined as work stoppages, which re
sults from serious disagreements between management
and labor.
"The first major strike in the United States was in
1786, when workers in a Philadelphia print shop went out
for more benefits. However, it wasn't until the 1900-02
coal strikes . . ."
"Good today, history department. Hey, it's still Page 4
right now. The new Kenny Rogers film "Six Pack" is still
in town. Here is "Good Today, UNL" critic Albert
Stevens, who, incidentally, was just voted the most
popular critic on the UNL campus."
"Good today, Mike. Gosh, it's great to be an American.
I love America. So does Kenny Rogers. It's easy to see
Kenny's an American. The story is great, the acting is
great and this country is great. In closing, let me reiterate;
I loved "Six Pack" and God Bless America. Good today,
Mike."
"Good today, Albert. Well, that's all the space for this
page. Coming up, we'll have an analysis of Freudian
symbolism in Shakespearean comedy by Boyd Epley,
humor by Ed Schwartzkopf, and of course, our regular "I
Got Nothing to Say" feature by the sociology
department.
"Good today, UNL."
