Beth Sanders & Randy Baker,

IMC film night June 11, Fear and Favor in the Newsroom exposes the myth that journalists working for media owned by wealthy individuals or corporations can be independent of the economic interests of their owners. Among the cases shown are an Atlanta Journal-Constitution editor forced out for challenging Coca-Cola, a New York Times reporter fired for writing anti-nuclear power stories, and an internationally known New York Times editor fired for criticizing corruption in his city. The film ends with a timely look at media jingoism during the 1991 Gulf War.

Why to oppose academic boycotts
Baruch Kimmerling,
|
Academic boycotts, such as the one imposed on South Africa, and the one proposed against Israel, have the perverse effect of making the very citadels of independent thought more vulnerable to their most chauvinist and belligerent political opponents. We should consider the unfortunate consequences with grave reserve before precipitously lending support to such proposals.
