Japan's Old Guard Flails At the Talking Heads
Date: 07 November 1993
By David E. Sanger

WHEN the revolution finally arrived in the Japanese political world last summer, the country's commercial television networks led the charge, and clearly enjoyed their newly discovered power to stir the electorate. Now the losers are out for revenge, trying to put the genie back in the television tube. For years the networks had been chipping away at Japan's supposed equivalent of the BBC, the state-dominated NHK television network, by nurturing some superstar newscasters, like Hiroshi Kume, who reported each scandal to hit the Liberal Democratic Party with sarcastic commentary and disbelieving stares. The public loved it.

On a small plot of trees and shrubs at the border of Jackson Heights and Elmhurst in Queens, seven neighborhood residents were scattered recently on benches in Manuel de Dios Unanue Triangle. Asked if they knew who Manuel de Dios Unanue was, four of the seven said they did not, explaining they were new to the area. The three others said they knew that Mr. de Dios was a journalist killed a year and a half ago in a restaurant across the street by the "cartel de Cali," as one put it, referring to a Colombian cocaine cartel. But they would not give their names for publication.

LOCKHEED MAY SELL 12 F-16'S TO PENTAGON IN FISCAL 1994
Date: 06 November 1993
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The Lockheed Corporation will probably receive orders for 12 F-16 jet fighters during the 1994 fiscal year, half the amount the Pentagon requested. The F-16 decision is part of the fiscal year 1994 Defense Department budget that Senate and House Armed Services Committee conferees hammered out Thursday night. Approval is expected next week. Lockheed said it was ready to accept the committee's half a loaf. "Twenty-four would've been nice, but 12 is very important because it continues the F-16 in the Air Force budget," said Joe Stout, a spokesman for Lockheed.

Congratulations Are in Order
Date: 07 November 1993
To the Editor: Walter Goodman condemns Dan Rather's criticism of the nature of television news and suggests that it is viewers' tastes that have dictated the glitz and glitter, the sex and violence that permeate the news programs in America. Perhaps this is so -- but isn't Mr. Rather to be congratulated for bringing the matter to the attention of the decision-makers, i.e., advertisers, corporate executives, news directors and television executives?

Who Slashed The Budgets?
Date: 07 November 1993
To the Editor: Walter Goodman claims that television network news is simply cater ing to the taste of its audience when it does not devote more time to foreign and economic news and other substantive subjects. What he fails to realize is that it was corporate executives -- not the mass audience -- who slashed the budgets of the news divisions at the networks and drastically reduced their ability to cover foreign news. In the last five years, for example, NBC has closed bureaus in Paris, Rome, Amman, Cairo, Frankfurt and Johannesburg. And when was the last time Mr. Goodman saw a story from Asia on any network? Similar cuts in domestic coverage have prevented a thinned line of correspondents and producers from spending more time on in-depth reportage. Were corporate executives looking at the bottom line or at ratings books and audience surveys when foreign and domestic staffing was reduced? As for a lack of economic stories, I am sure that Stephen Aug at ABC, Ray Brady at CBS and Mike Jensen and Irving R. Levine at NBC would dispute Mr. Goodman's contention that the mass audience has no interest in their field. EDWARD PLANER Glencoe, Ill. The writer, a retired vice president of NBC News, teaches broadcast journalism at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University.

Remember The Edsel
Date: 07 November 1993
To the Editor: In categorically defending boardroom decisions based on bottom-line considerations, Walter Goodman seems to forget such fiascos as the Edsel, the auto manufacturers' stubborn addiction to gas guzzlers in the oil-starved 1960's and other costly misreadings of public preference by corporate decision-makers. I doubt that television ratings are as sacrosanct as Mr. Goodman seems to think.

He Who Pays The Piper . . .
Date: 07 November 1993
To the Editor: I object to Walter Goodman's essay [ "What Parson Rather Left Out of His Sermon," Oct. 17 ] taking Dan Rather to task for his criticism of television management policies made in a speech to the annual convention of the Radio and Television News Directors Association. Mr. Goodman's argument is that the generally squalid performance of television in the United States is a result of market researchers' analysis of what viewers really want. I suggest that the researchers know what those who pay them want.
