PRESS ABROAD MAKES U.N. A KEY TOPIC

Date: 21 June 1984

By Richard Bernstein

Richard Bernstein

Every day here in a narrow office on the second floor of the Secretariat building, several staff members spend hours sorting through hundreds of press reports on United Nations activities sent in by the organization's 64 information centers around the world. In all, officials here say, the office receives some 1,500 articles, excluding news agency reports, that have appeared in local newspapers throughout the world. The volume of material illustrates a point often overloooked in this country: decisions and activities undertaken at the United Nations are often widely reported around the world.

SAN DIEGO MAYOR IS BATTLING 2 PAPERS

Date: 21 June 1984

By Robert Lindsey

A siege mentality appears to have taken over the 11th floor of San Diego's City Hall these days. Mayor Roger Hedgecock contends that the city's two major newspapers, The Union and The Tribune, are out to destroy him politically. On June 5, Mr. Hedgecock narrowly missed getting a majority in his bid for a second term in the nonpartisan municipal election and has been forced into a November runoff against a relative newcomer to local politics, Richard Carlson. The Mayor attributes the setback largely to antipathy by the newspapers that he says ''goes beyond the ordinary standards of journalism.''
