! INCREASED juvenile crime in Surrey recent-

~ wondering whether the Young Offenders Act,

Elusive standards

From Page 4

young reporter was liable to
arrive at a press confetence,
demand hard copy, ask a. few
utterly out-to-lunch questions,
and then drift back to his or
her office to write a piece of
cute tripe that missed the mark
by a thousand miles. As often
as not, the headline would end
up saying the opposite of the
point I'd tried to make.
Sure, they’d often get it
right. Every once in a while,
miracle of miracles, a reporter
would express an idea I. was

I could express it myself. But
that was preity rare.

Ah, well, perfection is an
elusive thing. Ain’t it?

it’s just that } really can’t
blame politicians for trying to
avoid counting on the media
to get it right ihe first time, or
certainly to get it right THEIR
way,

Even when we try,
communication comes hard.
It’s trickier than it looks. And
most of the time, it's true, we
don’t try as hard as we should.

We can’t really complain if
they don't love us Out There
as much as they should.
