Boccardi is the president and chief executive officer of The Associated Press. He is in charge of a staff of 3,200 employees. John Ginn, Knight professor of journalism, said that he had known Boccardi for many years and that Boccardi was an excellent choice for the award. "He manages the largest news gathering agency in the nation and has done so with distinction," Ginn said. "He's a very warm, sincere man who is very intelligent and cares a great deal about the values of journalism." Yesterday Boccardi answered questions from students and faculty about a variety of topics concerning journalists. Boccardi discussed the role AP played in the release of former hostage Terrv Anderson. Anderson an AP correspondent in their rent when he was taken hostage in 1985. Boccardi said that the hostage situation had made him more aware of how perilous it could be to work as a foreign correspondent, although there was not a shortage of people who wanted to work abroad. "It can be dangerous in parts of the world, but we have to be there," he said. Boccardi said he tried to separate his role as Anderson's boss from his journalistic self. "I didn't know what else to do," he said. "He was my man. Who else was Anderson's release lifted a burden off the AP. Boccard said. going to work for him? " He said he would never be able to talk about most of the things that he and others did to help release Anderson. "The time to get that fixed was not in the heat of the battle," he said. Boccardi said that advanced equipment had improved the quickness of news gathering. He said the AP was trying to get a better set of ground rules from the Pentagon concerning the handling of press during future wars. Boccardi said the Persian Gulf War received the worst firsthand coverage of a war he had seen. Sometimes it is easy to get caught up in the equipment, he said, but equipment is just a tool. Louis D.
