Journal;The Capital Gang

If there's one book certain to provoke Washington journalists to fisticuffs this year -- with each other, not with Bill Clinton -- it's "Breaking the News," an inside view of their own profession by one of their own kind. But don't expect its author, James Fallows, to be welcome as a guest on "The Capital Gang," "This Week With David Brinkley" or "Crossfire" as his book hits the stores this month. Mr. Fallows, who is Washington editor of The Atlantic Monthly and a commentator on National Public Radio, has taken his own profession to task for trivializing the news, turning off the public with its arrogance and cynicism and undermining American democracy in the process. And he doesn't hesitate to identify the ideologically diverse culprits, whether John McLaughlin or George Will or Cokie Roberts. Since his book doesn't have an index -- a mischievous omission pioneered by Richard Ben Cramer in his landmark account of the 1988 Presidential campaign, "What It Takes" -- its subjects will actually have to sit down and read it.

New Jersey Daily Briefing;No Exemptions for Journalists

Stop the presses: News reporters and photographers are not "essential" workers who qualify for exemptions from orders like Gov. Christine Todd Whitman's emergency decree banning travel on state roads during the blizzard, the state police said. But the assistant Senate minority leader, Bernard F. Kenny Jr., issued a statement yesterday calling on the Governor to change that position in any future emergency declarations. The news media, he said, "should not be hampered in their professional efforts to bring the news into people's homes." There were no reports of working reporters or photographers ticketed by the police during the blizzard, but a state police spokesman said they were violating the law nonetheless.

Press Faces Repression In Africa
Date: 14 January 1996
By Howard W. French

When this country opened the way for an independent press at the turn of the decade, the blossoming of newspapers of nearly every political persuasion was widely hailed as a critical stepping stone toward true multiparty democracy. But here, as elsewhere in Africa, rather than marking a clean break with an authoritarian past, the era of multiparty politics has been a time of increased hardship and repression for journalists who dare criticize powerful incumbents.

IT'S ELECTION YEAR AGAIN AND ALL OVER America, media generals are laying plans to win the last war. Sick and tired of complaints that they favor the negative over the positive, sex over substance and personality over program, media people are determined to avoid the errors of the past. We vow no more coverage of Gennifer Flowers or her look-alikes, unless of course state troopers vouchsafe the women's testimony.

COMPANY NEWS;OVERNIGHT SHIPPER SEES AN EARNINGS SLIP
Date: 13 January 1996
Bloomberg Business News
Bloomberg News
The Federal Express Corporation, reeling from severe winter weather and a weak international package-delivery market, said late yesterday that its fiscal third-quarter earnings would be significantly below analysts' estimates. A snowstorm that shut down 18 airports in the Northeast early this week could mean a $20 million loss in revenue for the quarter ending Feb. 29, said the chief financial officer, Alan Graf. The company has incurred additional costs to deliver packages in the days since the storm, he said. The Northeast accounts for 25 percent to 30 percent of total delivery volume, Mr. Graf said. Analysts expected Federal Express to earn 98 cents a share in its third quarter, according to a survey of five analysts by Zacks Investment Research. In last year's fiscal third quarter, earnings were $1.12 a share.
