We can be comforted by evidence that prompt. thorough and good reporting does work. In the fall of 1956. every form of journalism in the United Statespress. radio. and televisionreported fully and arrestingly on the Hungarian revolt. Before this a Roper survey of a crosssection of American adults found that 72 percent of them opposed any immigration allowance beyond the fixed quota. After the revolt. but when the immediate emotional reaction was over. 72 percent were in favor of lifting the immigrant restriction. Also In the fall of 1956. despite the preoccupations of a presidential election. journalism in America in all media did a job of incisive effectiveness in reporting the Suez crisis. In a survey before Suez. less than a third of the people were unqualifiedly in support of a United Nations police force in troubled areas.
