Beyond the Shroud
Date: 19 March 1995
By Max Frankel
Max Frankel
LAST AUTUMN, IN A FLIGHT OF ANGRY rhetoric, I accused the three main television networks of drawing a great shroud across the mind of America and leading the public back toward isolationism. I observed that the dwindling TV staffs abroad still report an occasional massacre or famine but that most evenings the newscasts and magazine shows treat the five billion folks beyond our borders as inconsequential and irrelevant. That conclusion now requires well, not correction but, as the old, incorrigible New Yorker magazine would say, amplification. Many readers reported similar resentment of television's withdrawal from the world and also of the meager diet of international news in most newspapers. An energetic demurral, however, came from NBC's Tom Brokaw, a frequent foreign flier and student of both the world and its treatment on the tube. He cited some recent television reports that defied the trend I was bemoaning. More insistently, he argued that television and journalism are not so much the causes of a new American isolationism as its victims.

THE arrival of Communist rule is still three summers away, but Hong Kong's rambunctious, free-swinging press is already beginning to pull its punches lest it offend its future rulers, many journalists here say. In the absence of official censorship, there is a growing perception of self-censorship among many editors and journalists. "Subtle change would be the best term to describe it," said Daisy Li Yuet-wah, an editor at the independent paper Ming Pao and a leader of the Hong Kong Journalists' Association. "You see a gradual toning down of certain kinds of stories, playing down stories. Day after day this happens. Self-censorship is the greatest threat to Hong Kong journalism right now."
