PHOTOJOURNALISM THAT COLORS THE NEWS IN MANY WAYS
Date: 04 May 1986
By Grace Glueck
Grace Glueck
Because it reaches millions of people every day, and directly affects their thoughts, photojournalism can be considered one of the liveliest visual achievements of the 20th century. Out of this genre, that records the ''real'' world of small and large events, have come many images now firmly imprinted on our consciousness - among them Robert Capa's photograph of a rifleman stopped in midstride by a bullet during the Spanish Civil War, Dorothea Lange's portraits of Depression-numbed migrants, the starved babies of Biafra as witnessed by Donald McCullin, a street scene involving a small boy and two bottles of wine immortalized by the lens of Henri Cartier-Bresson. But is photojournalism ''art,'' given our traditional concept of art as privileged to escape the burden of ''facts''? Or is it merely reporting? The question, which goes back to the beginnings of the genre in the 1920's and 30's, has often been argued, though as time goes on the need for the argument seems less and less compelling. Yet here it is, raised again, in a provocative exhibition, ''On the Line: The New Color Photojournalism,'' at the Walker Art Center (through June 1, and then on a countrywide museum tour, which bypasses New York). The show presents a dozen photojournalists, ranging in age from the late 20's to the mid-40's, each exhibiting 10 works. The gamut is from grim scenes of bombing in Lebanon by Yan Morvan and Alfred Yaghobzadeh - advocacy photojournalism to be sure - to a folksy series of small-town baseball vignettes by David Burnett.

International Water reservoirs are contaminated near the crippled Soviet nuclear power plant at Chernobyl and the region remains too radioactive for evacuated residents to return, a Communist Party official said. In the first detailed description of the nuclear disaster and its aftermath, the official, Boris N. Yeltsin, the Moscow party leader, also said it was caused by human error. [ Page 1, Col. 6. ] Potential health hazards in Poland caused by the reactor accident in the Ukraine led the United States Government to advise women of child-bearing age and all children not to travel to Poland. The Canadian, Australian and British Embassies took the children of their diplomats to Western Europe. A State Department official said a message would probably be sent to the United States Embassy in Warsaw allowing women and children to leave at Government expense until it is deemed clearly safe to be in Poland.

International About 49,000 people were removed from the area around the Chernobyl power plant and between 20 and 25 people are critically ill as a result of the nuclear accident at the reactor, a member of the Soviet leadership said. The official, Boris N. Yeltsin, a candidate or nonvoting member of the Soviet Politburo who is the Moscow Communist Party leader, said in an interview that perhaps as many as 40 people may have received a serious dose of radiation ''but definitely not hundreds or thousands as reported by the Western press.

NEW CHIEFS AT U.S. NEWS STIR ANXIOUS CURIOSITY
Date: 04 May 1986

At the glossy Washington headquarters of U.S. News & World Report, new reports on readership and circulation prompted rejoicing as the results were passed from office to office. A report from Mediamark Research, a leading audience research company, showed that for the six months ended last February there was a drop in the median age of the magazine's readers to 41.9 years of age from 42.3, and median household income had jumped to $38,096 from $35,057. And circulation has increased by 250,000 in the three months since the magazine's new design was introduced in January, according to a report filed with the Audit Bureau of Circulations. The magazine's audience is still far smaller and older than that of its chief rivals, Time and Newsweek. But for Mortimer B. Zuckerman, the real estate developer who is owner, chairman and editor in chief, the results were a welcome respite after months of staff turnover, redesigning projects and controversy, much of it focused on him.

NO 'SILENCE,' SOVIET PRESS AIDES SAY

The chief spokesman for the Soviet Foreign Ministry denied yesterday that Moscow had imposed a ''premeditated silence'' on information about the nuclear accident in the Ukraine. The official, Vladimir Lomeiko, visiting New York, said information about the accident at the Chernobyl reactor was made public as soon as the authorities became aware of the scope and significance of the accident. Although he did not directly refer to his Government's 48-hour delay in acknowledging the accident, Mr. Lomeiko said he did not know about the incident when he left Moscow on Monday for New York. If he had, he said, his trip would undoubtedly have been canceled.

IN A CRISIS, WHO TO TUNE IN? IN THE SOVIET BLOC, PROBABLY WESTERN RADIO

Since Monday, with little information available from official sources about the nuclear accident in the Soviet Union, Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty have been a source of breaking news to their Soviet bloc audience. They have also tailored their programs to contain practical advice on survival that would normally be the function of a local radio station. For instance, the Polish language broadcast of Radio Free Europe was two hours ahead of radio stations in Poland in reporting that high radiation levels had been detected in Scandanavia and in broadcasting the Soviet announcement that a nuclear accident had occurred, according to Jacek Kalabinski, senior program editor for the Polish service in New York. Mr. Kalabinski said the Polish service of Radio Free Europe had repeatedly broadcast an interview with a Polish-speaking hematologist based in New York who gave advice on such things as how to wash vegetables that might be contaminated with radiation.

Mike Fratello, who guided the Atlanta Hawks to a 50-victory season, the biggest improvement in the league - they won 34 games in 1984-85 - has been named the National Basketball Association Coach of the Year in a vote by 78 members of the news media. The 39-year-old, New Jersey-born Fratello left the Knicks, for whom he had been an assistant coach, to take over the Hawks for the 1983-84 season. Ted Turner, the owner of the Hawks, said Fratello would be offered a multiyear contract after the season. . . . Ivan Lendl, seeded first, was paired against Francesco Cancellotti of Italy in the draw held yesterday for the $500,000 Shearson Lehman Tournament of Champions that opens at the West Side Tennis Club Monday. Lendl, the defending champion and a winner in five of the six tournaments he has played this year, will be returning to competition after sitting out a month with tendinitis in his right knee. Boris Becker of West Germany, who will also be making his debut at Forest Hills, is seeded second. His opening match will be against Juan Aguilera of Spain. The tournament, with a top prize of $80,000, runs through next Sunday. . . . Marvin Webster, the 7-foot-1-inch center who retired from the Knicks in January, has been charged in White Plains with violating a court order that restricts his contact with his estranged wife and family. He was arrested and arraigned, then released without bail until a court appearance May 14. . . . Dr. Bobby Brown, president of the American League, has told the Cleveland Indians that it would be permissible for the team to enter a long-term lease for a proposed domed stadium as long as it contains escape clauses ''that would give them options and a semblance of control over their future.''

Vice President Bush today challenged the Soviet Union to share more information about its nuclear accident, calling the secrecy about the disaster ''unconscionable.'' Mr. Bush, leaving Andrews Air Force Base for Chicago after meeting with Cabinet officials to review the Soviet accident, said the Russians had responded to some American requests for information. ''I cannot go into the detail, but it is sparse at best,'' he said.
