Critical evaluation of the press, both within and outside the profession, assumed a new significance this spring as the Commission on Freedom of the Press completed its lengthy study and published a series of reports on all phases of communications. Although the reaction was generally favorable to the work of the commission, it was criticized for inadequacy in familiarizing itself with certain fundamental problems and techniques of working journalism, and especially for its evident lack of knowledge of professional journalistic education… . Another significant development of this spring has been the creation of the Society of Nieman Fellows and the publication of its quarterly Nieman Reports on professional problems. In both cases, the ultimate objective in these projects is the professional betterment of American communications through a more informed general public. W. F. S.

Political and economic threats to press freedom constituted the most significant development in the third quarter of 1951. The farcical Czech conviction of AP Correspondent William Oatis stirred official Washington action in retaliation but by the end of the quarter had not resulted in Oatis’ release. In the United States a Louisiana newspaper's efforts to expose gambling and official laxness in prosecuting it resulted in a brazen indictment of the journalists for “defaming” the officials. Amid these threats to free expression, however, a committee of Washington newsmen set an example of adherence to the principle of freedom by turning down an editors’ suggestion that Tass representatives be barred from the press galleries as spies. … On the economic side, the International Typographical Union sought to counter the trend toward newspaper monopolies by starting three competing dailies. However, the threat of still higher newsprint prices was causing many dailies to go up to 10 cents a copy and the hunt for cheap and plentiful substitute raw materials for newsprint production continued.—W.

Autumn issues of American periodicals touched the problems of journalism at several points. The professional magazines were not alone in reciting the story of the revival of the French press after liberation from the Nazi yoke. The policy of licensing newspapers and exerting censorship over them raised doubts of the postwar freedom of the press in liberated countries. Non-professional journals, as well as the trade press, stressed these developments. The strong numerical and editorial support given to the presidential candidacy of Thomas E. Dewey by daily newspapers and Northern weeklies created a debate on the “prestige position” of the press in the 1944 campaign. Editor & Publisher denied that the press has lost influence. A few of the quality group magazines took up the cudgels in an attempt to prove the contrary. Much attention was given to proposals for an international agreement that would keep the worldwide news channels free and give American reporters abroad easy access to news sources. Radio spokesmen in their trade journals claimed credit for improvement in the coverage of war news in the various combat theatres. F. E. M.

In this study, I explore verses in the Qur?an that come towards the end of stories and use a second-person address to say, “you were not there” when this happened. I seek to understand what literary function in the story it serves to address the second person and her/ his lack of knowledge, whomever s/he is. I locate all of these verses (3:44, 11:49, 12:102 and 28:44–46) and analyze them in order to obtain a better understanding and analysis of Qur?anic literary style. I focus on what these stories have in common and how the verses function. In addition, I analyze the verses and their roles in their respective stories. Through this analysis, we see that these verses are generally seen by commentators and modern scholars as asserting the Prophet’s authority and the Qur?an’s authenticity. However, I argue that these verses function as a sophisticated Qur?anic literary and rhetorical device that works to put people in their place: Prophet Mu?ammad, his contemporaries, and all of the Qur?an’s audience, by showing them their lack of knowledge and their temporality.
