- Description
- Episode Description
- News in Perspective moves to Atlanta, Georgia, for a program dealing with school desegregation and its effects on the sociological, political, and economic structures of the South. Thirty-year-old Julian Bond, member of the Georgia legislature, will be guest. Also guesting on the program is Roy Reed, The New York Times regional correspondent based in New Orleans, who has been reporting extensively from the South; James Wooten, The New York Times regional correspondent based in Atlanta, who has been covering the school desegregation story, and Clifton Daniel as moderator. Roy V. Harris, 73, once speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives and an architect of the states segregationist policies, will also be a guest on the program. In 1968, Harris was state campaign manager for George Wallace. In the April 27, 1969, issue of The New York Times Magazine on page 34, Bond and Harris gave their views on segregation and various other topics.

- Other Description
- This series of hour-long episodes goes behind the headlines of the past month and looks briefly ahead - at the places, people, and events that are likely to make headlines in the coming weeks. A distinguished team from The New York Times summarizes and interprets the major news developments throughout the world and provides a back ground for better understanding of probable future events. Each NEWS IN PERSPECTIVE episode is designed particularly to clarify the complexities of current history. Lester Markel is the editor-moderator of episodes 1 - 89. Clifton Daniel took over for Mr. Markel for the remainder of the series. Max Frankel, diplomatic correspondent for The Times in Washington, DC, and Tom Wicker, White House political correspondent for The Times, are guests on many episodes. Starting with episode 38, the switched switched from monthly to bi-monthly. One of the month's episodes would follow the standard format, with a host and usually Frankel and Wicker commenting on current events. The other episode would be focused on a particular topic and feature subject experts in addition to Times reporters. Throughout each episode maps, photographs, cartoons and slides are used to illustrate the topics under discussion. NEWS IN PERSPECTIVE is a production of National Educational Television, in cooperation with The New York Times. Episodes were frequently produced through the facilities of WNDT, New York. The facilities at WETA, in Washington DC, were used at times, in addition to other international locations. This series was originally recorded on videotape, sometimes in black and white and sometimes in color.
