Judge Closes Jet Bombing Trial to Protect Airline Security
Date: 29 May 1991
By Arnold H. Lubasch
Arnold Lubasch
A Federal judge took the unusual step yesterday of closing a civil trial to news organizations and the public, ruling that testimony in the case could endanger lives by disclosing secret information about airline security. The case is unusual because the United States Supreme Court has ruled that the Constitution provides for public trials. The Court allows exceptions but requires compelling reasons, like the need to protect important trade secrets or privacy in juvenile proceedings, to close a courtroom.

News Cameras in Courts? New York's Law Disputed
Date: 28 May 1991

The experimental law that allowed cameras into New York State's courtrooms -- and dramatic footage of criminal trials into millions of living rooms -- expires this week, with the law's future in dispute. The dispute centers on a provision in a State Senate bill that would extend the law but would not allow news organizations to videotape or photograph some witnesses during testimony unless the witnesses agreed. Many news organizations say that would sharply curtail their ability to cover a trial. The Assembly version of the bill, reflecting current law, would not set such a limit.

Kodak Introduces Electronic Camera
Date: 29 May 1991
AP
The Eastman Kodak Company took its first real step into digital photography by introducing an electronic camera system that can turn a conventional Nikon into a high-tech electronic camera. Kodak's professional digital camera system will sell for about $20,000 and is intended primarily for photojournalists and government surveillance, the company said. The system also marks Kodak's first move into pure electronic photography, where images are captured and created without film. The system uses a regular Nikon F3 camera body and lenses that are attached to an electronic back. When the photographer shoots a picture, the images are stored on an electronic chip instead of on film. The camera can take 2.5 images a second and can store up to 600 images. Images can be transmitted directly by telephone lines to a computer, without developing or finishing. The camera is being tested by several newspapers, including USA Today.
