Journalists need to keep readers' interests in mind, columnist says

Forum panelists discuss censure and use of oversensitive language
The art of writing has not died, syndicated columnist James Kilpatrick said Friday at a forum about guarding the English language.

"Let's try to write for our readers in ways that they can understand," Killiptrick said to about 250 people at the forum in memory of former KU journal professor John Bremner. The museum's place at the Spencer Museum of Art.
"We are here as a memorial to one of great teachers in our field," Klipta writes.
Bremner was an Oscar Stauffer distinguished professor of journalism at the University from 1969 until his death in 1987. He taught copy editing and was known for *Words on Words*, a reference book for writers and editors.
Kulpatrick met Brenner in 1979 when Kulpatrickcame to Kutreceive from Allen White Award. He said the game was about language after that meeting.
"Iwrote him when I was in trouble," Kilpatrick said. "John loved the profession and everything about it."
Kilpatrick cited examples of misuse of the language found in newspapers, such as: "A convicted sex offender was sentenced to life in prison with a possibility of parole on Monday."
He said that when he wrote his columns, he read them aloud.
"There's a music to language. You must always be aware of the sound," he said.
Kilpatrick answered questions from a panel including Jennny Barker, news editor at the Cincinnati Enquirer and a former Bremner student; Del Brinkman, vice chancellor for academic affairs and former dean of journalism; and Emerson Lynn, editor and publisher of the Iolo Register.
Jacqui Banaszynski, Freedom Forum professional in residence and Pulitzer Prize winning reporter from the St. Paul Pioneer Press, was on a separate panel of three that discussed censure and "politically correct" journalism, or using what could be called oversensitive language to please interest groups.
She said the news media needed to talk to people outside the newspaper to keep them informed.
A gay activist group once threatened to stop talking to her if the Pioneer Press continued to use the term "AIDS victim," she said.

The group preferred the term "person with AIDS."
"We need to respond to our audiences who have new and changing reasons for words to be used in a different way," she said.
Banasznyski said she met with people from the group and compromised with the term "AIDS patient."
