THE MEDIA BUSINESS: Press Notes; The Daily News moves up the pricing ladder, but is The Post ready to come down?

Date: 04 July 1994

YOUR move, Mr. Murdoch. That, anyway, is the feeling in newspaper circles after The Daily Newsincreased its daily cover price by 10 cents, to 50 cents, last week. The action appeared to be something of a "put up or shut up" dare to Mr. Murdoch's New York Post to cut its price from 50 cents, as that newspaper has been quietly threatening for months.

Giuliani and Reporters: Disparate Views of Mayor's Image

Date: 04 July 1994

By William Glaberson

Out of public view, Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani and much of the New York City press corps are engaged in a struggle over how the Mayor and his young administration will be covered and portrayed by the news media. Even in the age of talk-show politics, any Mayor's relationship with broadcast and print journalists can be important because their portrait helps shape public perception. And in the first six months of his term, articles and broadcast reports about the administration have generally portrayed him as a hands-on administrator with a strong grasp of city government details.

The Summer's Top Crime Drama, Continued

Date: 04 July 1994

On display in the opening days of the summer season's hit television crime mini-series, along with pictures of that 15-inch hunting knife, those splashes of blood on the walkway and O. J. Simpson's head of hair, is the nexus of money, celebrity and power that is driving both the conduct of his case and its treatment by television. The orgy of coverage, already notable in the history of a medium that goes in for orgies, and with plenty more promised, exposes a collusion between television professionals and courtroom professionals that is flattering to neither. Having gotten past a risibly tedious inventory of evidence (Q. "Item No. 1 contains two bindles of hair?" A. "It contains two swatches. But 1C contains a bindle"), the preliminary hearing makes a terrific show.

At Home Abroad; Down the Tabloid Slope

The Sun, Britain's largest-selling daily, denounced Prince Charles last week for his admission on television that he was not faithful to his wife after their marriage broke up. "We are now knee deep in a constitutional crisis," the tabloid said in an editorial. "Many people" found the story "too shocking to stomach." On the page opposite that moral lecture was a large topless photo of a young woman, and next to it an illustrated feature on nude fishing.

The Mayor on His Image

Date: 04 July 1994

In an interview about his relationship with reporters, Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani showed a keen interest in the evolution of his image and uneasiness about what he said was the stereotype of him as tough. Here are excerpts. On his portrayal by the press: "I think there is a tendency to play to stereotype. So that nobody thinks that I'm paranoid, it cuts in either direction: I think that, you know, if the prior Mayor played tennis, that was exaggerated and made a great deal of. If somebody thinks that I've gotten angry, that's going to be exaggerated." On what the press plays up: "Even if I were to be angry, which, you know, happens: the President's gotten angry, Mayor Dinkins got angry sometimes. If I got angry, that would be a much bigger event and would be played up much more than if somebody else got angry." On getting his message across: "Sometimes you do deliberately plan to get your message out. Usually those are things you plan in advance and you work very hard to get your message out. . . . Now the press might regard that as manipulation; that's part of communicating. As much as you can, you want to frame the debate. In fact, the greatest success you can have, is not so much determining all the answers, but at least framing the debate: Get the questions asked in the right way." On whether the press is fair: "When they interpret it in the way in which I believe I communicated, I think they did it fairly. When they don't, I think they probably did it unfairly."

Daimler-Benz A.G.'s global rights offering has been "extremely successful," Deutsche Bank A.G., the leading underwriter of the sale, said. Daimler, Germany's largest industrial group and maker of Mercedes-Benz cars, last month announced it would sell 4.66 million new shares at 640 deutsche marks, about $401, each. That was about 10 percent below analysts' price expectations at the time. If fully subscribed, the one-for-10 offer, which began June 20 and expires on Tuesday, will raise about 3 billion German marks, the largest capital increase in postwar Germany. The company said it needed the funds to help finance expansion.
