ALL THE NEWS THAT IS NEWS

LONG TIME VETERAN JOURNALIST BIDS FAREWELL Daniel Schorr is a news analyst for National Public Radio since 1985 but he has a long history in broadcasting since Edward R. Murrow first hires him in 1953 at CBS News. NPR reports the death of broadcast journalist Daniel Schorr at 93 on Friday, July 23, 2010. Daniel is the last active member of Edward R. Murrow’s team at CBS. Scott Simon, host of Weekend Edition, poses the question: What other person was personally acquainted with both Richard Nixon and Frank Zappa? In a business that’s known for burning out people, Dan Schorr shined for nearly a century. Schorr’s journalism career begins just after World War II, when he joins the Christian Science Monitor as a foreign correspondent. In 1953, Murrow brings Daniel to CBS, where he is known for his combative news approach. During his coverage of Watergate, Schorr announces Nixon’s enemies list before the Senate on live TV. He quickly discovers that the list includes his own name along with a note, a real media enemy. According to The Washington Post in 2003, Daniel says, I no longer pursue scoops, but concentrate on the context and meaning of things. I interact with journalists a third to half my age who seem to regard me as a walking history book. During his career, he wins a Peabody award, three Emmy awards and the DuPont-Columbia Golden Baton among many other tributes.

TOM [CAT] REEDER (Washington, D.C./Reston-Centreville, VA) Hi Jim...I love your e-mails. I tried to respond to yesterday's note...but, it didn't go through. My first job in radio in 1955, I worked for Cy Blumenthal at WARL in Arlington, VA in 1958. He bought WABB in Mobile, AL and I went there in 1958 and worked there until 1960. Then I went to WKCW (Big 'K') in Warrenton, VA. As they say the rest is history. I'm now at WAMU (American University) in Washington, D.C. Thanks friend, Tom 'Cat' Reeder

KAREN TEETER (Oahu, Hawaii) Subject: I AM Thankful. Dear Jim and Lacy, well, the part about taxes gave me pause, (grin) but this entire email is so true and a good, gentle reminder of the fact that we Americans should be giving Thanks all year, not just on that sweet holiday in November. God is so good and so very patient and giving, heck, he has put up with me and I was a wild child in the seventies. Bless you for such a cool website and email list. Sincerely, just a fan, Karen T.

JOYCE WEBSTER [J.C.] (Mena, AR) Subject: Not all are the "in crowd". Jim, Scott Hodges is definitely not part of any in crowd and Jim White spent so many years at KNUS...pretty much from the beginning, through all the ups, downs, sideways, etc., normally the length of anyone's career, I'm sure he earned it. Michael O told me he was nominated 6 times before he made it! I'm proud I nominated Scott first last year and again this year. I'm very surprised that you didn't get the support promised to you. VERY. And, disappointed. People should never say anything they are not going to follow up on, and to me a promise is sacred. If I'm not sure I can keep a promise, I always say I promise I'll do my best. My dad taught us how important keeping our word was, and I learned as a mother that a child's heart can be broken by a promise not kept. Don't give this thing a second thought, Jim. Keep on truckin' and doing what you enjoy. Looks like the FB thing has become fun and interesting for you. I'm an old fuddy-duddy and don't like all the info that people put out there forever and ever...frightens me a bit. Take care, Jim. Joyce

RAY WHITWORTH (Dallas-Arlington, TX) Subject: Inductees are named for the 2010 Texas Radio Hall of Fame. Sorry Jim you didn't make it again. Congrats to the Man who got me started in radio, Don Couser...well deserved!!! Jack Hines (Heinritz) a great man and a scholar. I worked with him while I did traffic at KRLD and at WBAP as a producer. Plus the man who definitely should have been there a long time ago Bud Buschardt...a gentlemen, kind, music historian a living encyclopedia of pop music for 60 years. These guys deserved it. Ray

FR. BOB TOMLINSON (Ft. Worth-Hurst, TX) Subject: Inductees are named for the 2010 Texas Radio Hall of Fame. I was just looking over the list Jim. Once more I'm disappointed you have not been voted in. We'll keep plugging. My best to you and Lacy, Bob Tomlinson

DR. JEFF CUNNINGHAM (Austin-Kyle, TX) Subject: Inductees are named for the 2010 Texas Radio Hall of Fame. Well, most of those people I never knew and some I never heard of.

CHARLES GEORGE (Dallas, TX) Subject: Minority Ownership. Jim, I was thinking I read where 93.3 was supposed to be for Minority Ownership. Maybe, what I was read was wrong. Besides what is Minority Ownership? Amateurs often use wire antennas to send signals out over the bands they use. I was wondering whether any AM/MW broadcast stations use wire antennas? When at KCHU-FM, I got a phone call and was talking, another person at the station reminds me it is good to turn off the microphone first... I have to admit I found being on the air was not as easy as I thought it would be. I found that NRC Logbook was cheaper and more helpful to me along with their antenna pattern book, but then I was just listening for stations. I also always liked SRDS better than Broadcasting Yearbook. Charles George
