FIGURE IN ATLANTA INQUIRY ASKS CURB ON NEWS MEDIA
Date: 20 June 1981

A lawyer for a 23-year-old man questioned by the authorities in the series of 28 murders here pleaded with a Federal judge today to restrain the news media from publishing or broadcasting virtually anything about her client. The lawyer, Mary Welcome, said there had been ''massive and extensive and unwarranted publicity'' surrounding Wayne B. Williams since he was held in the Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters here for 12 hours June 3 and 4. She said that ''constitutional violations of his rights to a fair trial and his rights to privacy'' had been inflicted by television, radio and newspaper reports. As a remedy, the lawyer, a former city solicitor, asked that the news media be barred from ''disseminating information about this case linking or allegedly linking'' Mr. Williams to the murders unless the information ''originates from an official statement.'' She also asked that reporters be prohibited from mentioning her client's ''background or his prior record''; from expressing an ''opinion concerning his guilt, innocence or character''; from predicting an outcome of a trial; from reporting the findings of examinations or tests performed on evidence or from reporting that Mr. Williams failed or refused to submit to any tests. And she asked that the news media not be allowed to publish Mr. Williams's picture, his name, his address or any other means of identification.

THE PITFALLS OF MEDIA CRITICISM
Date: 21 June 1981

Late last month, ''Inside Story,'' public television's new program about journalism, was complimenting Bob Pisor, who analyzes newspaper performance for a Detroit television station, WDIV. ''Inside Story'' used as an example of Mr. Pisor's good work a film clip in which he said The Detroit News and The Detroit Free Press had underreported the causes of the city's financial problems. Editors of the two papers say ''Inside Story'' had asked them what they thought of Mr. Pisor's work in general - they praised it - but not what they thought about the specific criticism of their reporting on city finances. With that, they mostly disagreed. Getting the other side of the story is a basic tenet of journalism, but the managing editor of ''Inside Story'' said he did not seek it in this case because the point of using the Detroit item was to praise a local television station simply for having a media critic, good, bad or indifferent.

THE PRESS CLUB READMITS AN ANGRY YOUNG MAN, 73

I.F. Stone has rejoined the pack. Mr. Stone, the premier loner and dedicated maverick of American journalism, was welcomed back into the National Press Club yesterday after having been ostracized by that section of the journalistic Establishment for trying to take a black friend to lunch at the club 40 years ago. ''This town was full of such cowards,'' Mr. Stone recalled of the McCarthyite time 25 years ago when he pressed his grievance and could find only nine supporters in the club of hundreds, when he needed 25. He went over the facts of the incident not for personal retribution but to try to find a historic lesson and caution in them. ''These are not just the peccadiloes of the past; these are the crimes of the future,'' the 73-year-old reporter and leftist -wing social critic declared as an audience of more than 200 reporters and press agents sat and, it seemed at times, squirmed.
