How Daily Press and Radio
Handled Attack Story
Editorial

Much friction for many years could be traced direct
y to stories in the daily newspapers which in cases
nteraca crimes when Negroes suspects subordnated
the actual crime to the of the peprator providing said
suspect was Negro.
Only Twin City paper played up the race angle in the
brutal robbery attack in Hennepn County early this week
The STAR JOURNAL, PIONEER PRESS and DISPATCH
Monday editions did not mention the racial identity of the
lions omitted the race of suspect
Only the MINNEAPOLIS TIMES casually mentioned
that the man sought Negro Wednesdays TRIBUNE
and PRESS announced arrest Of suspect but did not the
word Negro The TRIBUNE carried photo of Goldman the
suspect.
BUT Wednesday evenings TIMES definitely used the
method often utilized by irresponsible newspapers fan
feeling by what perhaps considered subtle method This
method has been used than since the TIMES fol-
lowing the lead of other local daes decided drop the racial
designation Negro" in stories unless it had
value"
Example of Times Method
The first paragraph of the TIMES story on Wednesday,
read:
Burnett Goldman, indicted Brooklyn
tack today board records
before convicted Of fnies of them criminal assault
White WOman-February 20, 1929
doesn't require much imagination to see that from the
above that the TIMES editors copydesk determined to
follow the archaic practice of injecting the of alleged
criminals known criminals into story providing the
cuprit is Negro They may believe they being clever
but their type of presentation is out of step with
progress and definitely unfair.
