"The media can escalate conflict everyday in our own country because too many of us see the public we claim to serve to be essentially racist, sexist and stupid," said Goldstein. Malarek agreed this attitude insults the audience. "So when they bring you a war they say, well, our listeners are getting resdly bored with this war" he said. "Let's find another arena. Let's find another stage to bring them something else." He said he witnessed "fren- zied demonstrations" take place as soon as media buses rolled into the area. He witnessed these frenzies ending as soon as the media left the area. Goldstein said, "People say and do things in front of the media that they wouldn't nor- mally do if we weren't around.** During the 1988 Seoul Olympics, there were reports of so-called student violence, GoMstein said. In fact this was an accepted form of protest in Korea, he added. "The irony is the real riot occurred before the media got there and after they left. Of course, if the media aren't there, it doesn't happen," said Goldstein. Editor of Dawn Magazine, Loma Simms and Host of CBC Noon Radio, Christopher Thomas agree an essential ele- ment of good reporting is not to go into any story with a precon- ceived notion. Thomas said it is not his Job to "resolve media disputes but to make sure whoever is involved understands" the situ- ation and each other. This also helps people have a better understanding of wiiat is going on, he said. Thomas said this is possible because media "are the only ones both sides will talk to In the larger context" G fUct is not a reporter's Intention. "It's not a conspiracy.
