Date: 18 March 1991

The pressmen's union, which would lose more jobs than all but two other unions at The Daily News, last night ratified an agreement that its leaders reached last week with Robert Maxwell. Mr. Maxwell, the British publisher, purchased The News on Thursday, contingent on all 10 of the paper's unions ratifying new contracts. If the unions' members approve the tentative settlements by tomorrow, Mr. Maxwell is to take over the paper on Wednesday. If they do not, The News is scheduled to cease publication.

Daily News Becomes the Fief Of an Often Imperious Master

The new owner of The Daily News took a moment out of a hectic, fax-filled hour last week to reflect on his overall management style and business philosophy. "When I pass a belt," Robert Maxwell explained in his sepulchral baritone, "I cannot resist hitting below it." In just a few antic days, the Czech-born British tycoon has imposed on New York City his bustling, baroque persona, which promises to fill the void left by the nearly departed likes of Donald J. Trump, Edward I. Koch and George Steinbrenner.

LEADERS of striking Daily News unions agreed last week to give painful concessions to Robert Maxwell, the British press baron, but were prepared to let the paper die rather than come to terms with the Chicago-based Tribune Company, which had founded The News 72 years ago. Why?

What's a Mother to Do?

In the still-male world of television news, a maternal image is a dangerous thing. Before Meredith Vieira was fired from "60 Minutes," few viewers knew she was working part time, to be with her young son. Now, because Ms. Vieira is pregnant again and CBS refused to extend the part-time arrangement, she has become a news item herself. Viewers who saw her simply as a reporter now know she has had several miscarriages; they have read that some men at "60 Minutes" were not happy when she brought her infant to the office. But awareness of Ms. Vieira's medical history and off-the-air problems has not equaled viewers' curiosity about if and when Connie Chung will get pregnant. Last July, she announced that her weekly CBS series "Face to Face With Connie Chung" was being cut back to occasional specials because, as the 44-year-old Ms. Chung put it, "I now need to take a very aggressive approach to having a baby." That statement is haunting her like a cruel joke that she may never live down.

There is almost nothing that the magazine industry loves as much as a good rumor, particularly if it is about someone else's magazines. So when Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation said recently that it might -- just might -- consider selling some magazines if it could not reduce its debt through the sale of other assets, the buzz began. By late last week, speculation centered on the Cahners Publishing Company, the largest American publisher of business and special-interest publications, as a likely suitor.

TELEVISION;
What TV Makes of the Fourth Estate

Channel-switching TV viewers might have been thrown off balance if they happened upon a broadcast a few months ago that featured two famous television stars. They would have seen two women, both intelligent, accomplished, gorgeous, blond and instantly recognizable. One was a broadcast journalist and anchor of a prime-time newsmagazine, the other an actress playing a broadcast journalist who anchors a prime-time newsmagazine.
Diane Sawyer, co-host of ABC's newsmagazine "Prime Time Live," was interviewing Candice Bergen, star of "Murphy Brown," CBS's hit comedy about a television newsmagazine. It wasn't easy -- for viewers who didn't already know -- to distinguish the newswoman from the actress. As the segment suggested, their roles are, in many ways, becoming interchangeable. Even though "Prime Time Live" appears on a different network, Ms. Sawyer's name is something of a mantra for the character Ms. Bergen plays.

With characteristic zeal, Sam Wyche, the Cincinnati Bengals' coach, is leading a crusade to have the National Football League change part of its policy governing post-game locker-room access to players. Wyche, who will carry his fight to the league's owners meeting in Hawaii this week, said he wanted to change the policy so nude male athletes are not exposed to female reporters during interviews after the games.

And Now, Back To Us

Feeling ill at ease? Nervous? Having trouble concentrating? Do you feel the need for an analysis by someone retired? If you long for the excitement of war reportage, you're not alone.
These days, hour after hour, remote control in hand like some empty syringe, I seek the video adrenaline rush that I've become (dare I say?) addicted to. I miss the action, the drama. I miss feeling connected, plugged in. I miss getting up in the morning, turning on the television and seeing a military spokesman not answer a question.
