Foundation honors Chicago editor
By BARRY MASSEY
Staff Renorter
Clayton Kirkpatrick, editor of the Chicago Tribune, told about 200 people at a noon luncheon yesterday that the future of newspapers looked bright.
Kirkpatrick, the 1977 recipient of the William Allen White Foundation's Award for Journalistic Merit, spoke on "Pluses of Journalism."
The day marked the 199th anniversary of the birth of William Allen White, Pulitzer Prize-winning editor of the Emporia Gazette for whom the University of Kansas School of Journalism was named. Kirk Buchanan had provided inspiration to "generation of young Americans" and that he hoped it would continue to do so.
The 62-YEAR-OLD editor said that despite many recent threats to freedom of expression, there still was hope for the future of newspaper.
"The printed word-his (White's) instrument that White employed so skilfully to achieve success—still is the supreme example of his art." Kirkpatrick said. "And this is only one of
Although television and radio may have certain advantages over newspapers, Kirkpatrick said, newspapers fill an informational void.
many positive aspects of newspaper publishing today.
"When the communication is from intellect to intellect and the need for analysis or reference to other information is present," he said, "no other medium now available can replace print." "It has not been able to be not supplanted by broadcast media."
Predicting that newspapers wouldn't brow to the pressures placed on them by radio and television, Kirkpatrick said new paper publishers also gave hope to the future of newspaper's.
"TELEVISION CAN NEVER waken a citizen in his newspaper as long as his newspaper is not published."
Kirkpatrick emphasized the role newspapers play as a supplier of comprehensive news coverage, and said it made newspapers an invaluable tool to many

Editor says press freedom doesn't extend to Hustler
Freedom of the press doesn't apply to Hustler magazine, Clayton Kirkpatrick, editor of the Chicago Tribune, said yesterday.
Kirkpatrick was on campus to accept the 1977 William Allen White Foundation's award.

enough."
Larry Flyp, publisher of Hustler, was convicted Tuesday of pandering obscenity by distributing the magazine. He was sentenced by an Ohio court to serve from seven to 25 years in prison and was fined $11,000.
Kirkpatrick said Flynt had written to him asked for his support in fighting the boycott.
"I won't help him," he said, "because his magazine is nothing more than hard-core peer review."
Kirkpatrick said the First Amendment right to freedom of the press didn't apply to Hustler's "terrible writing and explicit photos."
Kirkpatrick added, "It may not mean that much to your generation, but discipline is the hallmark of a free society. Society has a right to protect itself."
"I would rather save my fire for political repression," he said. He referred to the need for "a responsible free press that must stand behind what it orbits."
Press conferences with Daley, he said, became more nothing than "a continual game—Daley led about a lot of little thunus."
Speaking on another topic, Kirkpatrick said that Richard Daley often lied to reporters during his long reign as mayor of Chicago.
"Daly ete' like the press, but he was an effective mayor," Kirkpatrick said.
He said Chicago would survive without

Daley, who "couldn't concede that another person would ever be mayor."
The Tribune supported Daley in four of his five successful election bids, Kirkpatrick said, to a great extent because the state has a strong responsibility in handling Chicago's budget.
"Daley gave Chicago relatively moderate tax rates," he said. "He also managed the city's finances without the spending that put New York City in terrible trouble."
The Tribute didn't support Laie last fall in his find election, Kirkpatrick said, and he didn't back it.
Kirkpatrick predicted few changes would occur in Chicago government because of its rapid growth.
At the time of his death less than two months ago, Daley was 74.
"Daley followers will continue his prosecutions, might be a little less tough."

KIRPATRICK NOTED that the use of scientific methods to study the interests and needs of newspaper readers was another reason that newspapers had a promising future.

"A renewed and determined commitment to freedom of expression" is another positive factor Kirkpatrick mentioned for the future. He said a growing feeling among students was "unite and to resist" upon arrangements First Amendment rights.
Economically, the outlook for newspapers continues to be bright. Kirkpatrick said, and projections of advertising revenues and expenditures in 1877 indicate that both should increase.

The indignant response of news organizations to a gag raiding in a Nebraska trial last year is one example of this feeling, Kirkpatrick said. Such a feeling is held not only by American journalists, he said, but also by foreign news organizations.
Perhaps the most prominent aspect of the news of newspapers, he said, is the young population. "They're at the mercy of their elders," he added.
Not only are their numbers increasing, he said, but they are reportedly very skilled and extremely committed to their chosen field of journalism.
"Perhaps William Allen White's greatest service to journalism," he said, "rests in the inspiration his career has given to young men and women who has sought to follow
