CHICAGO TO CURTAIL PRESS ENTERTAINING
"Press departments of both NBC and Colum¬ bia have agreed to cut down on the amount of entertaining to be extended to the visiting newspaper ra.dio editors at the Chicago Radio Show and Exposition, scheduled for the week of Jan 18", Va,r iety reports. "Hotel suites engaged for the week by both networks and open house during the run of the show a.re out. Each chain will throw one big party to the boys and call it a week’s enter ta.ining . To pick their respective nights the managers of the rival press departments will meet and toss a coin".
If this report is correct, it is a step in the right direction. -Vith the best of intensions, the en¬ tertainment of radio editors has been overdone. In the begin¬ ning the industry did too little and at recent conventions and gatherings too much — or, in the opinion of this writer — too much of the w rong kind of entertaining.
The radio editor who takes his work con¬ scientiously and seriously wants service first of all. If, in addition to that, there can be some fun and entertainment thrown in O.K., but does not xiant to ha/ve the thing turned into a booze carnival.
Our idea of appropriate courtesies to the press ha.ve been such occasions as the opportunity given to radio editors to have a pre-view of the Radio City models in New York, the opening of Columbia’s television station, the first broadcast of the season of the Philadelphia, Orchestra, with a chance to meet and talk with Stokowski a,fterwards. Also opportunities to hear noted radio stars in person, to size them up, etc.
Such occasions as these, while not always affording immediate copy, a, re in the long run productive of good results for all concerned. As for the rest of the en¬ tertainment offered, as far as we are concerned, it is just as well out and we hope it is out for good becau.se it will save time, money and many hea,da,ches. R.D.H.
