TV Station In Bosnia Feeds Serbs Propaganda
Date: 09 June 1996
By Chris Hedges
Chris Hedges
Pale Television, broadcast from a small ocher-colored building on the rutted street that slices through the heart of this shabby former ski resort, recently began its evening broadcast with another world exclusive. "NATO forces," the news announcer intoned, "used low-intensity nuclear weapons when they conducted air strikes on Serb positions around Sarajevo, Gorazde and Majevica last August and September."

1896-1996;100,000 PICTURES
Date: 09 June 1996
WHEN ADOLPH S. OCHS, A YOUNG publisher from Chattanooga, bought The New York Times 100 years ago, the struggling little newspaper was already known for its words. But there was little, even in the giant newspapers of the day, in the way of music -- the photographs that convey the beat, rhythm and thrill of the news. That's why Ochs promptly invented The New York Times Sunday Magazine Supplement, as a place to marry writing and photography. This issue celebrates the centennial of that marriage. In the special issue published April 14, the Magazine looked back primarily on the articles of the last hundred years; the Sept. 29 issue will look back on the next hundred years. Today, the spotlight turns to the pictures. In some 5,000 issues, we have published about 100,000 of them; the following pages present 68 photographs -- 68 chosen to reflect the changes in news and visual taste as seen in the Magazine.

It has always been popular to bash the press. But lately things have been getting out of hand, everyone blaming us for everything. The complaints are bottomless -- and in one case, topless.

By more than 2 to 1, Republicans believe their party's platform should not specifically support a constitutional amendment banning abortion, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll. But illustrating the political quandary facing Senator Bob Dole, the poll found that the Republicans who care most about the abortion issue are also among those most committed to the existing plank.

My First Assignment
Date: 09 June 1996
Susan Meiselas One of my first assignments was for Harper's Bazaar in 1973. It was about an artist who made fashion out of food. I shot this young woman wearing nothing but an asparagus vest and salami necklace. I think there were some scallions involved, too.

The Subjective Eye

IT WAS THE MORNING THE GROUND WAR IN KUWAIT began, Feb. 24, 1991, and Sebastiao Salgado was on the phone from Venezuela. Salgado was already well known for his photographs of workers around the world, the first of which -- gold miners in Para, Brazil -- had appeared in the Magazine four years earlier. Now, he said, he wanted to go to Kuwait once the war was over, to photograph oil-field workers in the desert, where the fleeing Iraquis had rancorously set hundreds of wells afire. Would the Magazine send him? Would he be able to get in? How? Every great work of photojournalism begins on the phone. Weeks of calls followed: to construction companies in Kuwait, to the Army Corps of Engineers, to the Saudi Ambassador in Washington, to contractors in Texas. By the first week of April, Salgado had got to the Saudi-Kuwaiti border. After spending five tense days there, he obtained a visa that would allow him to stay for an extended period of time. The wells had been spewing crude oil and flames unabated, blackening the skies with smoke. They had to be capped and the fires put out -- superhuman work to be done, and to be photographed.

The Morgue Is Alive
Date: 09 June 1996

IT IS NOWHERE RECORDED just how and wherefore the name "morgue" first came to be given to the archives that newspapers keep of their own materials. It almost certainly happened more than 100 years ago -- within a century during which the French word, meaning "a haughty and contemptuous attitude," came to be applied (rather mysteriously) to the building in Paris that temporarily housed the transient and unknown dead. The forgotten newsroom wordsmith who took the word to its next stage performed a wonderful act of compression -- of poetry, really. About two-thirds of the space in the New York Times morgue, which covers an entire floor of a nondescript office building near Times Square, is given over to photographs, filed in nearly 1,500 drawers. Included are not only pictures that have been published in this Magazine over the last century, but also those run in the daily Times, and many that have never been published. The files devoted to clippings, which account for much of the balance of the space, contain a great deal of wonderful writing, to be sure, but they also include antediluvian wedding announcements, summaries of club speeches that everyone slept through, articles about the comings and goings of ocean liners. In the picture files, by contrast, can be found photos of the wedding party, of the assembled clubmen in their mahogany-paneled banquet room, of the crowd waving to the ship -- and they are alive.

Corrections
Date: 10 June 1996
An article in Business Day on May 20 about the job prospects of recent college graduates with journalism degrees misattributed an estimate of where the graduates are seeking work. The statement that three-quarters of journalism graduates will seek jobs in print, radio, television and Internet journalism was based on interviews with educators, placement directors and professionals around the country. It was not a finding of a survey of graduates by Professor Lee Becker of Ohio State University.
