Broadcasting Jul 1131979 75 The news that's in the news A public increasingly skeptical of other institutions is turning more and more to television as its favorite medium of journalism. Among all media, television ranks far out in front as the first source of news and the most credible. How did television achieve that rank? Why does it keep gaining in stature? The answers will be found in a Special Report in BROADCASTING August 6 Applying the experience gained in an ongoing series of reports on television journalism, the editors of BROADCASTING are preparing a portfolio of news operations coast to coast. They will seek the reasons why the quality of news presentation determines station rank in market after market. The August 6 issue containing this Special Report will go, of course, to the magazine's regular circulation of 36,487, which includes the cream of broadcast -oriented marketing and advertising executives and the members and key staffers of the FCC and other government bodies concerned with broadcast regulation and legislation. The issue will also be specially delivered to every member of the United States Senate and House and to all state governors. A prime medium for prime advertisers. If you count your news department to be a factor in television journalism, if your company is a network, a news service or a supplier of anything to television journalism -or if you have something to say to television journalists, this Special Report offers Special Opportunity. The closing date for advertising is July 30.

In essence, Metromedia argues that the staff of the FCC's Common Carrier Bureau was wrong to define ASN as a common carrier and was without authority to grant the permission ASN sought.

Whether the FCC can be persuaded to extend 325 to such ser- vices as ASN remains to be seen, but once again the principle of retransmission consent in superstation delivery is before the com- mission.
