Russian TV's Freedom Fighters
Date: 21 January 1995

If there is one redeeming feature in President Boris Yeltsin's blunder in Chechnya, it is the nearly miraculous coming of age of an independent, aggressive and professional Russian journalism -- especially in television, the prime news medium. In a visit to Moscow early this month, we found that a highly motivated news corps is winning the battle over freedom of the press, and it took the tragedy of Chechnya to make it so.
Journalism 101

THOSE UNUSUAL NOISES IN medialand are the cries of serious journalists flagellating serious journalists about their loss of "objectivity" and "values." Adam Gopnik in The New Yorker pines for the good old days when reporters were, he thinks, rewarded for their access to power instead of aggressions against it and when they abetted governance by hiding the warts of the mighty instead of wallowing in their deceptions and blemishes. Harvard's Nieman Reports features alarms that serious news organizations are embracing "the values of entertainment -- urgency, brevity, celebrity, action and conflict" and "if needed for extra spice," making the news "opinionated." With so many vulgarians dancing on public stages in the garb of journalism, you'd think that editors and reporters in the truth-seeking minority would hang together and defend themselves and their honest strivings. But they've been shaken, I think, by the loss of distinctions, particularly in television, where the vulgar and the sublime appear in quick rotation inside the same picture frame. One moment, Tom Brokaw is dutifully presenting the legislative ambitions of Bob Dole and Newt Gingrich. Next moment, John McLaughlin is shouting about the politicians' sincerity on a scale of 1 to 10 and Jay Leno is inserting their names in his sex jokes.

In yet another move to forge cost savings, Federated Department Stores Inc. will consolidate its Cincinnati-based Lazarus department store operations with those of its Rich's/Goldsmith's stores in Atlanta. The move will result in a charge of $50 million. The company said 700 jobs at the Lazarus central office in Cincinnati will be eliminated in the first half of this year, mainly from the merchandise, buying, advertising-marketing, human resources and finance departments. About 150 positions will be added in the Atlanta division absorbing Lazarus. The company said the Lazarus and Rich's/Goldsmith's names would remain and the move was not expected to have an impact on any of their stores.

The stock of the Oryx Energy Company sank to a record low as investors and Wall Street soured on the company's latest plan to return it to profitability. The plan, outlined late on Thursday, calls for the Dallas-based oil and natural gas producer to slash a quarter of its $1.7 billion debt this year and refocus its global search for oil in the United States. Oryx shares fell as low as $10.125, before closing at $10.25, down $1.875, on trading of almost 1.4 million shares. Oryx was spun off from the Philadelphia-based Sun Company in 1988.

The Nabisco Holdings Corporation, the food unit of the RJR Nabisco Holdings Corporation, was the most heavily traded stock yesterday in its first day of trading as a separate company. Nabisco, which sold $1.1 billion of stock in an initial public offering on Thursday, closed at $26.875. The company sold 45 million shares at $24.50. Investors snapped up the stock because they think they can profit from Nabisco, which makes Oreos, Ritz Crackers and Life Savers, without the threat of RJR's tobacco liabilities. Almost 16.7 million shares changed hands. RJR Nabisco Holdings Inc. is the nation's No. 2 cigarette maker.

Industrial production, excluding the construction industry, rose four-tenths of 1 percent in November, compared with October, giving a year-on-year rise of 4.5 percent, according to figures from the National Statistics Institute.

The Dow Chemical Company and Corning Inc. will split a fourth-quarter charge of $152 million taken by their joint venture, the Dow Corning Corporation, to cover the costs of breast-implant litigation, the companies announced yesterday.

Another company that pledged to the settlement fund, the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, said on Thursday that it had set aside an additional $750 million to settle injury claims.
