It might have been billed as a minority version of I
the 44Jim and Jesse Show." But there was one hitch:
Sen. Jesse Helms didn't show.
Though both Helms and Gov. James B. Hunt Jr. 9
were invited to participate in a press conference I
with reporters from North Carolina's black 9
newspapers, the conservative Republican, who 9
himself is a former reporter and editor, didn't res- 9
pond one way or the other.
Still, Helms' absence didn't stop last Friday 9
afternoon's session in the Chronicle newsroom. For
the first time, reporters from North Carolina's
black newspapers organized a joint press conference
to question a candidate not only about S
black issues but issues of concern to the general 9
population as well.
And, although Democratic challenger Hunt
showed up 20 minutes late, he stayed an extra 20
minutes to field questions from journalists 9

Chronicle Staff Writer
Last week's press conference between
Gov. James B. Hunt, candidate for the
U.S. Senate, and representatives of North
Carolina's black newspapers marked a
significant step forward in black coverage
of statewide issues, said the editors and
publishers who agreed to coordinate their
questioning and publish a common news
story and editorial the same week.
But they said th* meeting also

underscored the problems such coverage
poses for black newspapers with limited
financial resources when some candidates
decline to cooperate.
"It was significant in that, to my
knowledge, it was the first time where a
political candidate has met with the editors
and publishers of North Carolina's black
weekly newspapers," said Chronicle
Publisher Ernest Pitt, one of the press conference's
organizers.
