Japan's Old Guard Flails At the Talking Heads

WHEN the revolution finally arrived in the Japanese political world last summer, the country's commercial television networks led the charge, and clearly enjoyed their newly discovered power to stir the electorate. Now the losers are out for revenge, trying to put the genie back in the television tube. For years the networks had been chipping away at Japan's supposed equivalent of the BBC, the state-dominated NHK television network, by nurturing some superstar newscasters, like Hiroshi Kume, who reported each scandal to hit the Liberal Democratic Party with sarcastic commentary and disbelieving stares. The public loved it.

On a small plot of trees and shrubs at the border of Jackson Heights and Elmhurst in Queens, seven neighborhood residents were scattered recently on benches in Manuel de Dios Unanue Triangle. Asked if they knew who Manuel de Dios Unanue was, four of the seven said they did not, explaining they were new to the area. The three others said they knew that Mr. de Dios was a journalist killed a year and a half ago in a restaurant across the street by the "cartel de Cali," as one put it, referring to a Colombian cocaine cartel. But they would not give their names for publication.

The frenetic 1980's had been over for only two months when Malcolm S. Forbes, chief executive of Forbes Inc. and a flamboyant presence on the American business scene for almost 40 years, died unexpectedly in his sleep at the age of 70. It was, everyone said, the end of an era. But it was also the start of an astonishingly compatible partnership, as his four sons assumed leading positions in the family publishing company that had been founded by their grandfather in 1917.

Congratulations Are in Order
Date: 07 November 1993
To the Editor: Walter Goodman condemns Dan Rather's criticism of the nature of television news and suggests that it is viewers' tastes that have dictated the glitz and glitter, the sex and violence that permeate the news programs in America. Perhaps this is so -- but isn't Mr. Rather to be congratulated for bringing the matter to the attention of the decision-makers, i.e., advertisers, corporate executives, news directors and television executives?
Who Slashed The Budgets?
Date: 07 November 1993
To the Editor: Walter Goodman claims that television network news is simply cater ing to the taste of its audience when it does not devote more time to foreign and economic news and other substantive subjects. What he fails to realize is that it was corporate executives -- not the mass audience -- who slashed the budgets of the news divisions at the networks and drastically reduced their ability to cover foreign news. In the last five years, for example, NBC has closed bureaus in Paris, Rome, Amman, Cairo, Frankfurt and Johannesburg. And when was the last time Mr. Goodman saw a story from Asia on any network? Similar cuts in domestic coverage have prevented a thinned line of correspondents and producers from spending more time on in-depth reportage. Were corporate executives looking at the bottom line or at ratings books and audience surveys when foreign and domestic staffing was reduced? As for a lack of economic stories, I am sure that Stephen Aug at ABC, Ray Brady at CBS and Mike Jensen and Irving R. Levine at NBC would dispute Mr. Goodman's contention that the mass audience has no interest in their field. EDWARD PLANER Glencoe, Ill.
