CALL YOUR SHOTS
On Tuesday the Anchorage Times
published what it called :’An open
letter to news-oarer correspondents
at Palmer A'
Editorially, the niece had con
siderable merit, but we do think it
could have been a little more spec
ific, especially so as only two of
the larger and better known news
services are represented here*
lastoad cf saying: "Some corre
spondent erred in handling the
story nrd giving it to the nation
through one of the foremost news
agencies.]f the writer could, and
should, have said: >. .giving it to
the nation through the Associated
Press,7T
Such a statement world have
saved us, as correspondent nr the
United Press, the annoying exper
ience of having at least a half a
hundred persons greet us with the
question: ’Tas that you the Times
took a rao at?7’
The editorial states that : ’Lx
good reporter writes without fear
or fervor*7'
We say: "So does an editor. •’
So, we ask, why let the accusing
finger waver all over Palnur to in
clude all agencies and all corres
pondents? Why not point it direct
ly at the target? The Times, be
cause it is a member of the Associ
ated Press, probably didn’t like tc
eorre right ouh and accuse the ser
vice of employing inefficient cor
respondents, but that is not writ
irg -without fear or fervor*”
