- 8 - FACSII-ILE AND TELEVISION DOMINATE ST. LOUIS N-A-R-N-D MEET Nearly 100 radio news editors gathered in St* Louis, No., November 12-14 for the third annual convention of the National Association of Radio News Directors. The group included men from seven educational institutions-—Columbia University, University of Illinois, Iowa State College, University of Lessouri, University of Kansas, Northwestern University, and the University of Nebraska—and represented the largest block on hand, with the exception of the strong representation from Iowa radio stations. Reaction to such round-tables as "The Small Station Newsroom," "Special Methods of Municipal Reporting," "Radio-Newspaper Relations" and the like was good, but the strong facsimile—television overtones of the meeting perked listening ears up even more. News editors were told of the success of election coverage by facsimile in Miami, Florida, ( The Miami Herald ) and at Columbia, Missouri, where the University of Missouri is operating equipment on loan from the St, Louis Star-Times . Missouri is experimenting on the typographical aspects of facsimile, to determine which faces lend themselves most successfully to the publication of the radio-newspaper. Radio men were assured that facsimile is "not a trick that belongs only in the realm of the newspaper world," but that it can be successfully operated by an independent radio station without a newspaper tieup. Facsimile, according to John T, Bills, of WQA1'-Miami, may bring the daily newspaper to the field of country journalism, where the weekly has ruled supreme. Others saw facsimile as an important radio factor in the presentation of statisti¬ cal matter such as market reports. Statistics must necessarily be held to a minimum in aural broadcasting most radio men agree. KSD-TV, one of the nation’s most successful television stations from the standpoint of programming, furnished a convention highlight. Delegates to the confab were conducted through KSD-TV in small groups while a "live" show was produced, A television panel was the concluding event of the convention. Held in the KSD-TV studios, it brought the radio newsmen into the sphere of actual TV broadcasting. The stations represented by newsmen are in various levels of television planning,,, ranging from actual broadcasting, through building, on down to primary paper work. Network and wire service representatives spoke of expanding facilities for tele¬ vision operation, stations now operating television outlets compared notes, and others came from the meeting convinced that only time is slowing the television advance. The KSD-TV panel demonstrated the monotony of viewing a newscaster while ho road 15 minutes of news and in turn showed excellent use of pictures accompanying news copy.
