FEB. 28 - MARCH 6: NBC Cuts From the Top; News President Resigns As Budget and Morale Drop
Date: 07 March 1993

Even in an age of diminishing network profits, some cutbacks may not be worth it. Last week, following a string of embarrassments for NBC News, Michael Gartner, the president of the division, announced that he was resigning. Mr. Gartner, a 54-year-old former newspaper editor, took over the news division in 1988 with a clear mandate from NBC's parent company, General Electric: restore the division to profitability. He cut or eliminated bureaus, got rid of scores of employees and succeeded in making the ink run black. But Mr. Gartner also alienated many staff members. They warned that such stringent cost-cutting was undermining the network's ability to maintain its standards. He embraced "I Witness Video," featuring amateur videotapes of crimes and disasters. Last month, when it was revealed that "Dateline NBC" had broadcast a rigged crash test featuring a General Motors truck, their worst fears seem to have been borne out.

The pictures of misery might be from Somalia, but they turn out to be from the Sudan. "Why isn't a rescue under way here, too?" asks Stephen Frazier, the correspondent on "Our Planetary Police," a CNN documentary about United Nations peace-keeping efforts, which can be seen tomorrow at 9 P.M. The answer, he suggests, has to do with the fact that last year America's evening news programs carried 6 stories on the Sudan and 468 stories on Somalia. He asks, "Does news coverage determine where the United Nations intervenes?" Boutros Boutros-Ghali, the United Nations Secretary General, and Donald McHenry, a former United States Ambassador to the United Nations, answer with an unhesitating affirmative. Public sympathy for dying children is needed to goad governments to act, says Mr. Boutros-Ghali, and Mr. McHenry adds that "governments are forced to act whether they wish to or not."

It has been a bad season for practically everything. Extremists and fundamentalists are always ready to do their worst but this winter's gloom has inspired them to unusual exertions in the struggle to make the world a little worse every day. They always toil for praiseworthy causes, of course, which makes you reluctant to complain that it is rotten of them to be so indifferent to their fellow creatures. One feels obliged these days to suffer for other people's praiseworthy causes, even if you have never heard of them.

It was the biggest arrest in a New York City case since the apprehension of the "Son of Sam" killer in 1977 -- but the official announcement came at two oblique news briefings held in Washington. The briefings were notable not only for their scant information but for the absence of crucial New York City figures like Mayor David N. Dinkins and the heads of the local law-enforcement unitsthat shaped the World Trade Center investigation.
