What's on TV? Saturday, October 29, 1966

Interesting show on N.E.T. Journal at 6:00 p.m. on "The Vanishing Newspaper," which reminds us that the trouble faced by print journalism is nothing new. Strikes were the major factor in the 1960s, causing some papers to merge and others to fold altogether, but there was also the growing impact of television news, and the understanding that newspapers could never compete on TV's ability to bring you the sights and sounds as they happened, and that papers would have to give you the "rest of the story." According to this program, other factors include accusations that metropolitan dailies ignored market changes, abdicated certain responsibilities, and sacrificed integrity; small papers, in the meantime, act as little more than advertising media, concentrate almost exclusively on local news, and ignore world news and editorials. (Part to of this two-part report airs on Monday.) Could the critics back in 1966 have predicted how much worse things would look in the newspaper business today? I wonder? This week's issue is from Northern California.
