Show RADIO ANALYSTS GET MATERIAL FROM NEWSPAPERS Henry McLemore, who writes a column for various newspapers, recently took up the subject of radio war analysts, asking where they got their information. Mr. MeLemore points out that "they read the reports of the Press Associations and give you in condensed con-densed form what the newspapers give you in full." The columnist says that there isn't a radio commentator com-mentator in the United States who could talk for two minutes talk intelligently unless he had the AP, the UP or INS copy in front of him." Of course, Mr. McLemore is entirely en-tirely correct. Anyone familiar with the war reports of the press associations can readily recognize them in the verbiage of the radio commentators, whose main functions, func-tions, it seems to us, is to liven up the stories with the addition of ex-citing ex-citing adjectives, dramatically pronounced. |
