Katharine Graham believed, "Print is certainly going to change. It's going to have to adapt. But it's so important. It brings readers the information they need in a democratic society. That sounds pious. But society without print would be a different society. It is up to us to keep print alive and going." In 1975, the television newsroom became the setting for a weekly drama called, 'Mobile One'. Jackie Cooper recalled, "We managed to get a 20 to 22% share of the audience." Produced by Jack Webb, Jackie recounted, "I was pleased that Jack had brought me a reporter, instead of the doctors, cops and private eyes that flood the networks...He had the reporter in a small TV station in a small town. I argued that the audience wanted to see a reporter in a big city covering important news stories. Jack went along with me on that." President Jimmy Carter made the point in 1979 following the death of investigative reporter Bill Stewart in Nicaragua, "Journalists seeking to report the news and inform the public are soldiers in no nation's army. When they are made innocent victims of violence and war, all people who cherish the truth and believe in free debate pay a terrible price."
"..I watch television a lot," James Earl Jones confessed. "I like more often than in films. That's true as a viewer as well as an actor...I wanted to do a series that had something to do with the quality of our lives. In terms of..issues. In a police series the issue every week is justice. I accept justice not as fixed, any more than freedom. We're always in pursuit of it, struggling to defend it." Peter Jennings was one of 3 reporters the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini talked to in 1979. "We always go after public figures in any story and they always say what they want to say. You've got a major story and it would be journalistically irresponsible not to try to see him and not to report what he had to say," a news producer said.
Aung San Suu Kyi came back to Burma in April 1988. There was widespread uprising in the country at the time. "As my father's daughter, I felt I had a duty to get involved," the pro-democracy campaigner explained. Aung San Suu Kyi found herself up against "one of the world’s most repressive military regimes" trying "to bring democracy to Burma under all circumstances". The 15 years between 1988 and 2010 she was held under house arrest. The Los Angeles Times noted, "She always refers to the country as Burma and the capital as Rangoon, purposefully ignoring the government's decree that the nation be called Myanmar and the city, Yangon." She pointed out, "No one should be allowed to change the name of the country without referring to the will of the people. They say that Myanmar refers to all the Burmese ethnic groups, whereas Burma only refers to the Burmese ethnic group, but that is not true. Myanmar is a literary word for Burma and it refers only to the Burmese ethnic group. Of course, I prefer the word Burma." In April 2012, she won a seat in the lower house of Myanmar's parliament. "I am not interested in trying to predict the future. What we are trying to do is shape the kind of future that we want for our country. And that comes about through endeavor," she maintained.
