Many of the decisions made about what is newsworthy are obvious and easy. But journalists also make many borderline, subjective decisions which are affected by intense competitive and deadline pressures.

Inside Story, which will cover television and radio news, newspapers and news magazines, is a positive step in that direction. The top story on tonight's show is an examination of the coverage of the series of murders of young blacks in Atlanta. Carter concludes that the press was late In recognizing that the murders constituted a major story and that the coverage has been short on substance and long on "spectacle." He points out that the story didn't begin to get big "play" until a year after the first deaths, when the Atlanta police formed a special task force to Investigate. i inm urn --jr I GUDUUll lyJQ Carter il- MOWERS FERTILIZERBEDDING PLANTSSHRUBS Greenvfeuj. 2-WAY GREEN POWER Save $40 on this Self-Propelled TORO!

M-lil'i''J "As so often happens," he says, "the press had waited for the police to tell them it was a major news story." Carter also criticizes the press for devoting too much of its coverage to vigilante groups, visiting celebrities and other "spectacular" elements of the story. "Once they did concentrate on the story," he says, "too many in the press followed their most basic and least praiseworthy instincts. Cameras and recorders aimed again and again at grief-stricken mothers, tearful brothers and sisters or visiting performers, but usually did not stay around to record the grinding facts of daily life in the neighborhoods from which the dead children came." The national press, Carter says, made the mistake of treating the story as "somehow peculiar to Atlanta instead of as a reflection of a problem familiar to virtually every American city." That and an Interview Carter does with Charles King, who moved his Urban Crisis Inc. racial awareness and sensitivity program from Dayton to Atlanta in 1974 suggest a relationship between the murders and the press coverage of America's black communities. That argument, not pursued at length In the show, is a bit strained.

It's one thing to say the press has done a lousy job covering the poor, quite another to say that lousy job was the cause of specific crimes or problems. Still, it can't hurt if journalists and the consumers of their product are prodded into doing a little thinking about the possible consequences of the way things are covered. Inside Story should help us do that. 5,000 Square Feet REG. $13.45 TP 3595 Front Wheel Pow-R-Drive Fingertip Start Wind-Tunnel Housing REG.

televised on a regular basis for the first time. The committee Is expected to approve the resolution soon, but considerable opposition is likely when It reaches the Senate floor. Gregory recommended approval of the resolution, based on the experience of the House, which has permitted regular television coverage since 1979. The bottom line is that the system works," he said. He also said he believed "the right decision was made" when the House rejected proposal for network-operated camera pool.

WASHINGTON (AP) A veteran of the debate that led to televising of House proceedings advised the Senate Tuesday to follow the House's lead and have the cameras controlled by its own employees. The proceedings of either house of Congress are not designed to be 'show business' or entertainment or even "news' in the strictest sense of that word," Neal Gregory told the Senate Rules Committee.
