Apo Oki 1, vex air Force explains advertorials concept this is in reference to the article on air Force advertorials in base newspapers. Advertorials As your article mentioned Are Man dated As must run items by the assistant Secretary of the air Force for Public affairs. Base newspaper Edi tors such As myself have no say whatsoever in whether or not we run this propagandist garbage in our papers. Your article mentioned that there arc sure to be a few base newspaper editor who arc grumbling about the advertorial. 1 am one of those editors and despite what your quoted air Force official said i have writ ten a letter of protest to Sah a. They must not have Godyn i yet. Why am i opposed to running these advertorials Many reasons. First of All if the bib advertorial is any Indica Tion they Are blatant propaganda. Telling air Force people bal the bib is a great aircraft despite what critics say is like preaching to the choir. Do the people in the Pentagon think that the troops can t decide for themselves whether or not the b-1b is a Good aircraft if it truly is a food aircraft it will prove itself in due Lime and thus there is no need for an advertorial about in now. Secondly the advertorials Are not attributed to any individual or any organization other Nan the air Force. Who writes this stuff anyhow it really needs a byline. I think it s Only fair that my readers have Sonny one to blame for the comments made in these things thirdly the advertorials Are mandated As must run items i can understand making a news article which provides vital information to Lue troops a must run item but an editorial come on. If an editorial is truly Worth running it will scream to be printed. The b-1b advertorial does t quite lit that advertorials were mandated to be must runs be cause whoever created them knows that any self respecting editor would recognize such propaganda for what in is and trash it. I feel prey confident that most of my Peers in the Field would not run these advertorials if they weren t ordered to. Lastly though i cow go on the advertorials Are a waste of valuable space in my newspaper. The looking Glass is 4 photo copy format paper that u limited to an average of 10 pages. Running an advertorial completely fills one of those pages. That s 10 percent of my space. I m sure my readers would much rather read something on a local Tevel that applies to them than some propaganda Sheet about a troubled weapons sys tem. I realize that base newspapers Are not newspapers in the True sense of the word but arc instead House information  what this Means is that a base newspaper s True purpose is to disseminate command information in the Guise of a newspaper. This of course prevents a base newspaper editor from truly being a journalist. When i m ordered to run propaganda no matter How much in offends my intelligence 1 have to ignore All the journalistic ethics they instilled in me at the defense information school and run if propaganda. The department of defense principles of information Stales thai a free flow of general and military information will be made available without censorship or propaganda 10 the men and women of the armed forces and their dependents. Feel that the assistant Secretary of the air Force for Public affair s advertorial policy clearly violates that Creed. Senior airman Paul Mark Lalta Cir Elk a Turkey editor s note col. Petti l.

Advert aria an in feed to help the air Force articulate its Poison of critic defer Shane b afr Force people to an editorial Tyle Ibal Cap fare the Ruder attention. Advertorial Are Corporal opinions and not Thorn of a Fugle individual Tina they ale not attributed to any one person. This Type of  a essential Lor informing our air Force people of the positions of our a Enow leadership. To exploit their full potential advertorial we pcs quoted Moat run an established air Force ton is Edo identify items that All Bate Nezip pers Are required to me. White the writer b entitled la i opinion on Reed Back indicate the advertorial was n Ncnew and attracted the attention of our internal audience. Stripes giving space to whiners she says As a dedicated Stan and stripes Reader i d like to make a suggestion. Please Stop taking up precious space to run incoherent letters like that whining about our massive sacrifices to be Here americans Are not so aggressive when we learn words and try them out on the Economy something happens to discourage us and we do the Normal thing we return Back to housing and our american Friend. Normal i am diligently studying German. 1 try my German out regular in on the Economy and in my Kon tall club and have had wonderful results. If something happened to discourage me i would not cower and Scurry like a mouse Back to my quarters. How dare this writer Lump All americans in the same class As herself the irony of the whole thing is thai people like this writer arc at every base everywhere no matter where hey Are the last Post was better. If the writer were in the precious Blue Ridge mountains or Louisiana my bet is that she d be whining about the situation there and wishing she were somewhere else a letter on the same Page was no leu obnoxious. The writer lauds the sacrifice of the poor Young wife who lows three kids on an army bus because she can t afford a car. What s the doing Wilh three kids when sle can t even afford a car and Why can t she afford a car simply because she s overseas the army would be shipped her car from the Stales obviously she did t have a car there either. So whose fault is that should the army buy her a car she should count herself Lucky the army offers her free bus service to the commissary so she can buy her hamburger meat at prices she can  could she have afforded it any More in the states should the army buy her food also what do you people want from the military judging from recent letters no less than chauffeured cars medical doctors on staff 24 hours to answer your Calls when your Igidi arc sick and designer dresses at the Exchange for 110 each. So How about More letters that solicit answers about rules and regulations and less from malcontent who no matter what is done for them feel they should have More. If the army did provide them with chauffeured cars they d whine Why Are they opels they should be mercedes1 by Ducline Wiesbaden no women to Menoid Mattir and staph Outadi t 14at,d4100onnitkrt1,Arminy.
