Reagan again,
editors lament
By ROBIN ADAMS
Chronicle Assistant Editor
If the election were held today, said editors of tl
nation's black newspapers in a recent poll, Rona
Reagan would surely remain president.
And that prospect, they said, both puzzles ar
frightens them.
'it's Reagan again," said Willie Egyir, editor <
the New Amsterdam News in New York. "The n
tion has become conservative and they (conse
vatives)think Reagan is the man. It's no more ba
ed on the issues. It's based on Reagan's abilities
sell himself to people."
Added Bill World, editor of the Richmond Afr
American: "It's Ronald Reagan, I'm afraid. At
it's for reasons that totally escape me. He has tl
support of the majority of the people in the poll
He has turned the clocks back to the 1950s. Ii

Unless there's a war or the situation in Beiri
where the American embassy was bombed h
week, worsens, there's no doubt Reagan will co
tinue to live at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., said Jol
French, editor of the Charleston (S.C.) Chronia
"He got poor white folks who support him
French said. "They support Reagan and still stai
in the food stamD lines."
The country's mood assures Reagan of a secoi
term, said Marge Sturgis, editor of the Los Angei
Sentinel.
"Racism has reared his ugly head again," s
said.
The editors said they are particularly fearful
what four more years of Reagan would mean
black and poor people.
"He's an actor," said Tony Davis, editor of t
Dallas Weekly. "He doesn't really care about t

l nis is ine tirsi in an ongoing series ov irucres examining
how fairly and ethically the Chronicle has
handled certain issues. We invite your reactions.
The black church and the black press traditionally
are partners in protecting the community's interests.
But even the best of friends can have differences
of opinion.
What happens when the role of the press and that
of the church conflict? Are events affecting the
church public or strictly private concerns? And
when does the public's right to know conflict with a
church's right to carry out its business in private?
The answer may depend, in large part, on
whether you ask a clergyman or a reporter. Some
clergymen would hold newspapers to the same stanl

President Reagan: Four more years?
r church matters?
- dards followed Uy tlie tuaifsi 'Wlwh the church or
its members are involved incidents that could
result in unfavorable publicity, some ministers say,
they should enjoy a presumption of innocence until
proven guilty. That means the media should refrain
from reporting the event until the courts or the
church members themselves resolve the matter.
And, if the members themselves handle the problem,
some clergymen say the matter is settled and
the media should never become involved.
Some newsmen, on the other hand, would base
their decision to publish an article on whether tne
story is "newsworthy" ? whether the public has the
right to know.

ground when you cover church news that isn't flattering,"

It doesn't matter what you call the pact that
halted a nine-week boycott by the NAACP of the
Food Lion grocery chain, said Fred Rasheed, the
NAACP's national economic director. Both, he
said, are one in the same. '
But Eugene McKinley, vice president of human :
resources for the Salisburv-based crocerv chain. i
says there's a big difference. Last week, McKinley ,
told the Chronicle that his company had not signed
Fair Share agreement with the NAACP as the
organization had reported. Instead, McKinley said,
it signed a "statement of principles."
"It shouldn't be confused with their (NAACP) <
standard Fair Share agreements, because it doesn't <
