Conventions As TV News: Tradition In Transition
Date: 13 July 1992

A message to viewers of the Democratic National Convention: Watch carefully. This may be the last chance you get. Predictable, plodding, often even soporific, the last few party conventions have attracted so few viewers that this summer they will receive less network television coverage than ever before. Four years from now, some network news executives say, the conventions might not be broadcast live at all.

If you and yours have ever tried to attend a national political convention, then you already know how hard it is to get even festival seating. Why?
Probably because you were woefully undercredentialed. Most people simply lack the time or interest to join a major news outlet just to acquire one-time security clearance. Still others have criminal records. Either way, you and your family are left out on the street with the protesters and hookers, while inside thousands of fully accredited journalists are whooping it up, taking in the platform debate of Paul Tsongas's gas tax, for example.

When to Beat Up on Political TV
Date: 13 July 1992
The first gavel hasn't even fallen on the Democratic Convention today but already the air buzzes with hot words about how crassly television is compressing its coverage of politics. One criticism concerns the compression of hours: How dare the networks limit their live coverage so drastically? A different criticism concerns the compression of seconds -- the steady truncation of sound bites, the on-camera quotations from candidates.

Democrats Display a New Optimism, Reflected in Poll

Fired by new optimism about Gov. Bill Clinton's appeal, Democrats will open a national convention in New York today that their leaders describe as a carefully scripted kickoff for a party more eager to win this fall than to argue this week. The Democrats' new sense of possibilities was underscored by the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll, which shows Mr. Clinton gaining ground in a tight three-way race. Mr. Clinton now essentially ties President Bush when voters are asked how they would vote if the election were held today: Mr. Bush is at 33 percent, Mr. Clinton at 30 percent, and Ross Perot, the all-but-declared independent candidate, is at 25 percent. Improving Popularity Even more important to the Arkansas Governor is the improvement in voters' views of him personally over the last month, after a primary campaign that left his image in tatters. During the same period, Mr. Perot's image continued to decline, while Mr. Bush's ratings on job performance, economic stewardship and personal image remained remarkably weak for an incumbent President.

A Picture of Harmony, at Least on TV

Maynard Jackson, the Mayor of Atlanta, refused to budge from his message: the Democratic Party is one big, ideologically happy family. "We're finally united," he said last night on CNN's "Crossfire," which was being broadcast live from Madison Square Garden.

Observer; Against the Grain

It becomes harder and harder for press and television to play any role in Presidential politics that is not utterly contemptible. Eric Sevareid, who died the other day, always seemed more aware of this than most of us, and more uncomfortable about it, and therefore more honorable in some way you couldn't define, but could only feel when he walked into a room. He made you feel better about being in the same business. He was tall, square-shouldered and handsome, not in the cheap Hollywood leading-man style, but in the way that attracts sophisticated women. I once met a mature woman half his age who was not kidding when she said she had wanted to marry Sevareid ever since she had been a 12-year-old listening to his voice on the radio.

Essay; Wildflowers in N.Y.C.

My first job in journalism was folding the "guts," or weekend sections, of The New York Times into the main news section on Saturday nights behind the subway kiosk on 91st Street and Broadway. The pay was half a buck an hour, only fair for a 12-year- old in 1942, but a fire in an oil drum kept us warm on early November nights and there was the thrill of being in the newspaper business. Across the street was a political storefront for the Democratic Congressman, but the pols there were chary about handing out literature and doodads to hang around your neck to kids. My buddy Marty and I preferred the upstairs headquarters of the American Labor Party candidate, Vito Marcantonio, who may have been a Communist but was great on distributing buttons, which we would take in fistfuls and pass out to friends who had no political or media connections.

On My Mind; Classy Bill Clinton
Date: 14 July 1992
By A. M. Rosenthal

In convention assembled, let us now join in hope that press and politicians will drop this baby boomer business about Gov. Bill Clinton and Senator Al Gore. The label makes two sophisticated and experienced politicians sound as if there were something different, something coltish, about them that separates them from Americans who were born before World War II.

PHILLIPS PETROLEUM IN EXPLORATION DEAL WITH ALGERIA

The Phillips Petroleum Company's Algerian subsidiary has signed an agreement with Sonatrach, the state-owned Algerian oil company, to explore for oil and gas on about 1.5 million acres. Exploration is expected to begin in early 1993, pending ratification of the contract by the Algerian Government, Phillips said. Algeria late last year amended its laws to allow foreign companies to take part in joint ventures with Sonatrach. The agreement covers five years, with an option for an additional five. Phillips, based in Bartlesville, Okla., is to invest $67.7 million in seven pilot wells.
