REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK: HUNT FOR A DEFINITION OF NEWS
Date: 07 May 1981
By Jonathan Friendly, Special To the New York Times
Jonathan Friendly
Creed C. Black, the editor of The Herald Leader in Lexington, Ky., was telling a dozen publishers of medium-size newspapers yesterday about the kinds of news they ought to be looking for to enliven their columns and attract and hold new readers. He ran through a familiar list of stories about economics, health, politics, people and ''service information'' such as television schedules and calendars of coming events. He encouraged them to get rid of ''the exhaustive deliberations of public officials over questions that are probably academic anyway.'' But ultimately, Mr. Black said, the definition of news is simple - it is ''anything that happens to, or near, a publisher.''

A court here today banned a magazine from publishing transcripts of what were said to be telephone conversations between Prince Charles of Britain and his fiancee, Lady Diana Spencer. A spokesman for the Nuremberg-Furth Civil Court said the judges had ordered the magazine Die Aktuelle not to publish any part of the conversations, said to have been taped in Australia.

Jack Kauffman, president of the Newspaper Advertising Bureau, yesterday told the membership that 1981 was going to be a little better than he had thought earlier, at least in the advertising arena. His new forecast is that revenues will rise 13 percent, rather than 12 percent, with the contributions coming from national, up 16 percent; retail, 14 percent, and classified, 10 percent.
'The Election Was Over'
Date: 07 May 1981
Don't try to tell Charles Manatt that there's no projectioninfection problem in national elections. He's now chairman of the Democratic National Committee, but last Nov. 4 he was walking a North Hollywood precinct for a California Congressman. Though the polls were still open, television had already projected the Reagan win. ''In three different households,'' he recalls, ''people said, hadn't I heard - the election was over. There was no point in going to vote.''
News Analysis
Date: 07 May 1981
By William Serrin, Special To the New York Times
William Serrin
He was a beefy, soft-skinned man more at home on the golf course than in a trucker's cab or on a loading dock. He brooked no nonsense and while he was a bumbling speaker, Frank E. Fitzsimmons probably was a lot smarter, at least in the ways of union power, than people thought. That would include James R. Hoffa, whom Mr. Fitzsimmons successfully resisted when Mr. Hoffa, after a prison term, decided that it would be pleasant to regain the union presidency. Now Mr. Fitzsimmons, 73 years old, is dead of cancer. Only a year ago associates were denying that he had cancer, and three weeks ago, they were saying he might still overcome the disease. His death will set in motion intensive action within the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the two million-member labor union that Mr. Fitzsimmons headed since 1967. But his death probably means little in regard to the way the union is run.
