Pittsburgh Strike Transforming News

Date: 01 June 1992

Two weeks into a strike by a union representing 600 drivers and their supervisors, Pittsburgh's two daily newspapers are devising alternative ways to get the news to their readers. The Pittsburgh Press and The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette have not published since mid-May, when the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 211 struck the Pittsburgh Press Company, which had proposed eliminating 75 percent of the union's jobs. The company is the publisher of the afternoon Press, and it prints and distributes the separately owned morning Post-Gazette under a joint operating agreement.

Review/Television; 'The 10 O'Clock News' Gives a Nod to Its Past

If "60 Minutes," "Nightline" and "The MacNeil/Lehrer Newshour" can publicly celebrate their anniversaries, why not "The 10 O'Clock News"?

"25 on 5," narrated by John Roland and Cora-Ann Mihalik, the anchors of the newscast, is an inexpensive piece of promotion, made up mostly of old clips. The producers of "The 10 O'Clock News" -- probably most famous for bringing show-business personalities and hopefuls on to declare: "It's 10 P.M. Do you know where your children are?" -- take credit for putting forth an "intense," "gritty," "in-your-face" newscast that challenged the establishment or even waged guerrilla war on it.

This town's journalists are in an uproar. "Outrage," "blackmail," "the final insult" -- these are some of their milder comments about the latest attempts by movie star handlers to control them. At issue is nothing less than the spoken words of Tom Cruise. In Hollywood, Mr. Cruise's spoken words are viewed as significant, even if they're usually not.

Gorbachev has issued a broad attack against the Russian Government, which he said was in danger of losing control. In an interview with the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, the former Soviet President went further than he has since his resignation in December in criticizing the political style of his old rival Mr. Yeltsin.
