LOG NOTES - Chief, Editorial Division 29 August 1966
1. (Litwin) The revision of sourcelines to enable consumers to differentiate
more readily between radio and press agency material was discussed at length
at the Editorial Division staff meeting on 25 August, The consensus, arrived
at after considerable discussion, was that a more precise identification of
press service material would be beneficial if it served to dispell the
recurring doubts and misinterpretations of consumers regarding the origin of
individual items. In arriving at this conclusion, all were agreed that
reinserting the mode of transmission in the sourceline was not germane. It
was also pointed out that the inclusion of this technical data could be in
some cases confusing and even misleading to consumers. Two mays to distinguish
press agency material from voice broadcasts were suggested: 1) Inserting
the word "press" in the existing sourcelines, i.e., Moscow Tass International
Press Service in English, Hamburg DPA Domestic Press Service in German;
2) listing the abbreviations of the press services in the Daily Reports, either
on the back inside cover or some place in the front of the books. This
matter will be further discussed and coordinated with FOS and RPD before
final decision. (cc: Seely/Allen, Weiss, W. Smith)
