THE MIAMI HERALD Monday April 21 1980 Police Call Cooperation -s' i 2-B FROM PAGE IB not our goal to act as an instrument of the police but at the same time it is not our function in life to resist the police carte blanche WCKT-TV President Edmund Ansin Levy assistant news director of WCIX-TV (Channel 6) it appears unfair if Channel 7 and not the other stations and print media in town is picked to report some police stories WE LOSE the confidence in our professional said Channel Smith "we cease to serve the public Our policy is that we provide no tapes to police even when we are invited along on a police raid or arrest We have been asked by police to make available TV tape for training purposes and things and I have turned them down will provide copies of our stories only under subpena and that policy stands for everyone including the police And we will often fight a subpena we think is too broad We will only provide the material which is actually used on the air which theoretically would be part of the public Smith said do not provide outtakes unused footage because we regard them the same as have really taken very vigorous positions in terms of testimony notes and sources all the things that are such difficult issues these days" Ansin said "Certainly there are some fine lines Each case has to be individually ecution witnesses in the case against postman Kenneth Teller are vital witnesses" he said Neither newsman could be reached for comment Evidence for the prosecution includes the cash the pills and the Channel 7 videotape know what ethics guide journalists" Sorondo said know what considerations got Channel 7 out there between the Miami Beach police and got to supply the State Office with the film got to said a police officer who worked on the case said they would go to court and all the films would be made Prosecutor Sorondo says the only possible complication in such cases might be venue problem When something like this is televised going down it may be difficult to empanel a jury that see The Metro Public Safety Organized Crime Bureau also brought a WCKT-TV news crew into a Hialeah Gardens police ney Richard Gerstein said the conduct of Channel 7 newsmen extremely serious ethical questions and questions of abuse of the First Amend- ment will pose substantial First Amendment problems for the media in the he said they per-mjt themselves to be used in this 'fashion It was never contemplated that the media would substitute for l1v enforcement agencies he said a Very legitimate watchdog role but they do not have a legitimate function as a substitute for the courts or law enforcement agen-( MAY CALLED the ethical aspects of the cooperation with police and prosecutors delicate Prosecutor Rodolfo Sorondo Jr has listed newsman Vic Walter and cameraman Dave Shanahan as pros investigation They set up a surveillance with police of possible illicit activity by a city official But it failed to produce the evidence police said and no arrests were made CHIEF CORSO said his deal with WCKT was made the spirit of reciprocity They let us have the tapes because we gave them the that was the deal I certainly know about said WCKT attorney Alan Rosenthal is the policy of Channel 7 not to enter into such an agreement and I Canrflttapn ib Miami Commissioners' Votes in Past Month know as a matter of fact that such an agreement was entered into here Our role is to inform the public we are not prosecutors as Chief Corso said Channel willingness to help is not the only factor of the reasons I personally feel that Channel 7 should be he said not only their cooperativeness but also the fact that many years ago there were poor feelings between Channel 7 and The current collaboration he said makes amends worth a million he said since they have changed their editorial policy and are much more objective in their reporting They are no longer prone to creating A NUMBER of policemen from several departments faced charges several years ago after Channel 7 newsmen circulated a number of wallets throughout the county turned them over to police then documented1 how many were returned cash intact The station last in ratings behind the news shows of Channels 4 and 10 hired former Metro police public information officer Ralph Page two years ago as an investigative reporter Metro police hired Channel 7 assignment editor Joe Keefe this month to command the community relations and public information bureaus At the same time the station hired Miami Shores Police Officer Wesley Derey as night assignment editor
