Belatedly I too must offer a few comments about Vision2020 and the Daily
News. I have not stinted in my criticism of the Daily News but it has been
directed toward management (those who make the policy decisions) and not
toward the men and women who make up the news staff. If Greg Burton used
information he got from Vision2020 to follow up and develop a story that was
clearly in the public interest, I would call that enterprise and commend him
for it. I don't know Greg, but I'll bet that in his job he is overworked and
underpaid. And I'm glad he is a subscriber to Vision2020.
A second point I want to make is a plea to keep Vision2020 open to all.
It should be a public forum, welcoming all points of view, seeking the widest
dissemination. As I understand it, anyone on line can subscribe, and all
subscribers receive the same information. We should understand that what we
say here is for public consumption. If we don't want it to be public, we can
use private e-mail.
Greg has set his personal guidelines for using this material and they
seem adequate to me. Bert Cross
