As this is being written a Fresno State College student
being sought in connection with the slaying of his wife. Poli
wish to question Ted Werner concerning his whereabouts
the time of his wife's garrote-slaying.
No matter who the murderer is, the incident has all the
elements of a front-page story. In the rjeat of the moment,
reporters are anxious to get every- piece of information,

good "copy."
The incident, while still fresh in everyone's mind, will

inference, of course, is that Werner, if he ij the murd,
studied   criminology  in   order   to  leam  both   criminal
We will be quick to leap to the defense of this, our ch

failed to admit such a newswriting technique is unfair.
It points up the need for a general housccleaning in j
nalisrn. It tends to lead the administration of justice astr
And if, as it has been said, justice truly is sightless
it   does   not  behoove  the  newspaper  profession   to  further]
hamper her by tying a blindfold around her eyes.
