National Right to Work
Committee president
Reed Larson recently
called on President
Ronald Reagan and
White House press
authorities to make
presidential activities
equally accessible to
journalists regardless of
union affiliation
Ted Turner’s Cable
News Network, Inc. filed
suit May 11 against NBC,
ABC, CBS, President
Reagan, James A Baker
III and Larry Speakes
alleging “violations of
antitrust laws of the
United States resulting
from their practice of
‘pooling’ news coverage
and from various other
predatory and illegal
practices.”
“Contracts between at
least two networks and
labor unions are a source
of discrimination against
Cable News Network
employees, and the White
House so far has failed to
correct the situation,”
Larson said
News coverage of
many presidential and
White House activities
via one network
distributor has been
required for some time.
One count of the Cable
News Network (CNN)
suit seeks to lift this
practice as it applies to a
“tight pool.”
The White House pool is
coordinated by each
member providing
coverage for an agreed
period on a rotating
schedule. CNN has
sought, and been denied,
membership
According to an NBC
spokesman, both NBC
and ABC have contracts
with unions that prohibit
the crews from handling
material from in-
dependent companies
such as CNN.
“Since the pools are
selected with the un-
derstanding that a few
reporters and television
crews are to share copy
and pictures with all
news organizations.”
Larson wrote in a letter
to Reagan, “this

arrangement penalizes
workers who have chosen
not to join unions.”
“Independent news
men and women should
not forfeit privileges
because of a compulsory
unionism agreement
between NBC and the
National Association of
Broadcast Engineers and
Technicians,” Larson
said.
We feel certain you will
wish to rectify this
miscarriage of justice
No measure can be given
those who would deny
First Amendment
guarantees to other, law-
abiding citizens,” Larson
continued.

Work Committee is

that every American
must have the right, but
not he compelled, to join
