T~JEMAN ivery newsman in these parts with a conscience, )rried about the way that we have deait with terrorý,,m in the past few weeks. We are obviously as ill-prepared to deal with it on the airwaves or the front pages, as the Canadian government is to deal with it when an embassy is raped. 'm flot sure where the answer lies, exactly, although 1 think 1 have a pretty good idea of the general direc- tion. 1 do not subscribe completely to the "publish and be damned" philosophy of the Fleet street tabloids; but everything 1 have learned in 30 years, largely by trial and error, tells me that it is more dangerousfor a jour- nalist to suppress information than to disseminate it. The journalist risks playing God when he approaches his task with the idea that the public should be pro- tected f rom information he thinks it can't handle. But there is a diff erence in announcing a fire in a crowded building when one has actually seen the smoke and flame, and in shouting "fire" when one only suspects that flame and smoke are present. And there are different ways to warn people. One can announce f ire calmly, and suggest that people walk, not run, out of the building; or one can shriek the warning, in a panicky way, and lead the rush to the staircase. 1 think those are the differences wve are talking about when we're considering how news organizations should cover terrorist activity The suggestion that the public shQuld not have been warned about the terrorist threat to the Toronto subway system, is, in my view, unac- ceptable. Where would the police and the media have been if one unsuspecting passenger had been maim- ed or killed? On the other hand, responsible coverage of the im- pending threat does not include an advance story on the reserves on Toronto blood banks and whether they would have adequate supplies in the event of carnage. That is quite simply alarmist and that too is unacceptable. The proper course lies somewhere between those two extremes. Our coverage should not give aid and comfort to criminal activities. On the other hand, 1 see no way that a responsible press could avoid background stories on the grievances which gave rise to the ter- rorism in the first place. Perhaps it's time that the Press Councils and prof es- ional news organizations drew up some guidelines. Y...,Ierhaps it's time that the authorites took action. They could begin by removing temptation, and cutting telephone lines to besieged embassies immediately. Perhaps it's time we ail did somnething.
