Column Comment
A (unidentified) dispute has been allowed to drag on until the public became the sufferers. Comment on the reporting of allowing Red China to join the United Nations. As people have already heard the headlines on radio or Television it is the papers' role to extend this knowledge, but most papers omitted this. As editorials and politicians tell us our future is bound up with Asia there should have been better analysis. In Christchurch the row over the Commonwealth Games continues with an opposition group wanting to remain anonymous. But in seeking public support people are entitled to know who they are. It is 'the newspapers job to print the news even if it raises hell".
A weekly review of the press in New Zealand from the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation (NZBC). Theme is Miles Davis, Milestones
