Daily News Editor Leaving for Boston

Date: 27 May 1992

The executive editor of The Daily News announced yesterday that he was resigning to take the same job at The Boston Globe, where he worked in a variety of management posts in the newsroom until 1985. The editor, Matthew V. Storin, said his decision to leave The News, which is in bankruptcy, "doesn't say anything about the viability of the paper." He said that he was concerned about his own future and that the job offer from Boston seemed ideal.

Get the Courts Back on Camera

Date: 26 May 1992

After closing the courthouses to video cameras for a year, New York State's legislature is moving to let them back in. The bill now gathering support in Albany isn't perfect but it would at least reopen the civil and criminal courts to the light that cameras uniquely provide. Courts in all but half a dozen states now allow cameras -- including television cameras that record the proceedings for later use on the evening news or cable channels. Helped by wise supervision and today's quiet cameras, courts have overcome the fear of photography born in the boisterous era of the Lindbergh kidnapping trial.

In another attempt to resolve the 20-day-old newspaper delivery dispute, the drivers' union is set to vote tomorrow on new contracts with The New York Times and a newspaper distributor, the union announced yesterday. The way for the ratification vote was cleared over the weekend by an accord on the volatile issue of amnesty for drivers who the distributor said had violated company rules in blocking news delivery trucks. The amnesty issue had unexpectedly derailed balloting that had been scheduled for last Thursday.

THE 1992 CAMPAIGN: Undeclared Candidate; Perot Stresses Homey Image, But the Image Is No Accident

Date: 26 May 1992

By Michael Kelly

When Ross Perot talks of himself and his current position, he likes to conjure a picture of "a happy accident," an innocent abroad in the wilds and wiles of media-land. "I don't have a handler," he says with pride. "I don't have anyone who tells me what kind of suit to wear, what kind of tie to wear. I don't have any powder on my face." He boasts of his unsuitability for television politics, poking fun at his Texas country-boy accent, his big, beaten nose, the great out-sticking ears that frame his face like cartilaginous quotation marks. He generally ends his litany of curiously likable flaws with the same shrugging summary. "What you see," he says, "is what you get." Spinning Out a Hero This is true, but it is also true that what you see of Mr. Perot is by his own careful design. He is a master salesman, and for 25 years, he has done much of his selling -- of causes, business ventures, ultimately of himself -- through the press. The history of his dealings suggests Mr. Perot understands the ways of news organizations considerably better than they understand the ways of Mr. Perot.

A Convention in Search of a Theme

Three little words that television viewers watching the Democratic National Convention in July will not see behind Gov. Bill Clinton when the delegates' votes have been counted and the balloons have cascaded from the rafters -- assuming, as the staff planning the convention does, that he wins the nomination -- are "we the people." The backdrop behind the podium, perhaps the most valuable square footage inside Madison Square Garden in terms of capturing television viewers' attention, is being changed. To what, the Democrats have not decided.

The Eastman Kodak Company said yesterday that it had agreed to use a photo scanner made by the Polaroid Corporation as an accessory for its Photo CD System for scanning images electronically. The Kodak system, which was announced in September 1990 and became available to photofinishers in April, costs about $100,000 and permits photofinishers to scan negatives and slides. The Polaroid CS-500 scanner, which Polaroid has been selling independently since last October for about $4,000, will permit the scanning of 35- millimeter prints and instant prints. Polaroid, based in Cambridge, Mass., will supply the product to Kodak as an original equipment manufacturer, and Kodak will sell it under its own brand name, starting later this year.

Bachmann, who is also chairman of Edward D. Jones & Company, a securities firm in St. Louis.
