Lou Prato's Been Around Big News Stories All His Life And He's Around One Now The Jerry Sandusky Sex-Abuse Scandal At Penn State.

Lou Prato's been around major news stories all of his life and he is around one now the Jerry Sandusky sex-abuse scandal at Penn State.

After a long career in Television and radio news, he moved to State Varsity to rejoin the Penn State community, where he earned his journalism degree in 1959. After writing The Penn State Soccer Encyclopedia, he became the first director of the Penn State All-Sports Museum. Now retired from the varsity, he writes about Penn State sports.

Prato's media career includes working and leading TV and radio newsrooms in Pittsburgh, Detroit, Chicago and Dayton, Ohio, as well as work with the Associated Press. His academic certifications include 12 years as head of Northwestern University's broadcast graduate program in Washington. For years , he was a hack and contributing writer for the North American Journalism Review.

Many stories directors know him for his more than 35-year stint on the board of the Radio-Television Stories Directors Organisation (now the Radio TV Digital Stories Organisation), including twenty-two years as its treasurer.

He is shaken by the scandal, but he also believes that the national press has unfairly darkened the entire institution with their "rush to judgment, the supposition, the innuendo, the ridiculous commentary based basically on a grand jury report that still has to be proven in the court of law."

Never one to mince his words, he spoke about his feelings with Contributing Editor P.J. Bednarski in a chain of mails, excerpted below.

I know the horrible things are purported to have occurred with those youngsters sicken you. But I know that on a journalistic level, you are appalled by a number of the coverage.

Concern about the cover is nothing in relation to the obvious concern all Penn Staters have for the subjects of child abuse and their youngsters, and I mean that sincerely.

But the way most of the media has continued to portray Penn State, the folks that work and live here, the students and faculty, the university's soccer team and even our alumni base, one might get the point this entire area is inhabited by a horde of callous, heartless child sex abusers. One cable Tv talk show host called the Second Mile "a molestation farm." Come on!

Now the numerous insincere, self-serving, second-guessing critics in the media and the gullible, blood-thirsty public they foment and influence have made Penn State symbological of all that is bad in the American culture that is until the media moves on to another shark fest, leaving in its wake a whole life taint of Penn Confirm that will never depart irrespective of what the final truth might be.

I am worn out arguing, debating and thinking about everything which has happened to Penn State, to me, my folks and many of my pals in the last couple of weeks, and it is tough to accept everything reported so far by the grand jury. Similarly, it is even more difficult to believe Joe Paterno was so morally deficient as his millions of baying knockers in the media and outside it proclaim. It is so out of character of the man.

As for [Athletic Director] Tim Curley, I have met many liars in my life especially in academia and I will not believe Tim is a liar and morally deficient. OK, I understand. I and hundreds, if not thousands, of others were duped by Sandusky. Hence as to Joe and Tim, we shall see, will not we?

Hence after all these years, this has taught you something new about the media?

I will never watch, hear, and read the news or watch or hear talk shows as I had before.

You know what injures me the most, besides what could have occurred to those boys? I used to be a part of the media, a journalism graduate who was taught not only to be fair, balanced and objective, but to be sensitive of others, to get every side of the story, never to think, and to not interject my personal or political principles into any story.

I was also shown how to be careful of the private agendas of sources as well as my private, to be wary of whom to trust, to be doubtful but pragmatic, to withstand the enticement to be first without first assuring you have it right, and to never report a rumour just because you'll believe it to be correct. My, how idealistic and old skool.

Perhaps you don't see it being so close and personal to this story, but this is what a large amount of folk would say media do with stories like these all the time.

Look, there were times in my career I did not meet my private lofty standards. That bothers me to this day. But I didn't expect journalism to fall to this level of irresponsibility and shameful, evil depth that it has in the last twenty years. I am sure there are many thousands still working in the newsrooms of this country who share my view.

There was good reporting on the national level, but I am ashamed, embarrassed and I am annoyed at how a large crew of the media has reported and researched this story with such a pile-on mindset. The rush to judgment, the conjecture, the innuendo, the outrageous commentary based primarily on a grand jury report that still has to be proven in the court of law. It has already messed up the reputation of many folks as well as Penn State School and the entire State School area community.

It's offensive to me that a large chunk of the media and the general public has already made up its mind without waiting for all of the facts to come out through the court process that Joe Paterno is the final villain here for what he did or didn't do not Jerry Sandusky and that Penn State and anyone even tangentially connected with Penn State is responsible for what happened. The feedback is vicious and most of all, so self-righteous. Not just the scurrilous web sites, where you might expect it, but supposed "legitimate media" websites also. If you'd like more examples, read and see them on the Web yourself.

Well, you worked for the athletic programme. Didn't you hear anything?

For the record, the first I heard of Sandusky's purported and I continue utilizing that word as I was first given training to do in journalism college kid abuse was in mid-June of 2009 when I was volunteering for the yearly fundraising Second Mile golfing competition. I didn't know Jerry well, but I had been around him at golfing competitions and I had interviewed him 2 times.

I was more mystified than surprised. I can remember. I announced, "Jerry??? You've got to be kidding!" I knew nothing of what was then the 2 reported incidents in 1998 and 2002, and like others I was shocked by the 23-page report to the grand jury. It's sickening and tough to read but I did.

I know you think some local reporters did some good solid reporting on this. But why did not this story come out earlier?

There are 3 reporters who were on it. Sara Ganim, once the crime correspondent for the Centre Daily Times, who broke the first public stories of the inquiry after she had moved on to the Harrisburg Patriot-News ; Gary Sinderson, a vet "one man band" reporter-photographer for WJAC in Johnstown, who knows the Pennsylvania court system and this community inside out ; and Pat Boland, the reporter-newsman for the local dual-ownership State College radio stations WRSC and ESPNRadio1450. He helped Ganim in her first job fresh out of Penn Nation's journalism program in May 2008. You do not hear much about Pat as he stiffed it from brain cancer at the age of 42 in early July but he was deep into the story.

Ganim appears like a throwback to the journalism of my youth, and based mostly on what I have observed, she seems to have more judgment and street smarts than many of her older, more experienced media peers in Pennsylvania and nationally. She is just 24 and needs to be slightly overwhelmed with a story like this. I just hope that she does not slip into the sloppiness that often infects other young reporters who are overtaken by their ego when they end up on top of a big state story.

On this Sandusky story, I call Ganim, Sinderson and Boland "The 3 Musketeers." They did not share all their information, but like many writers somewhere else they often collaborated on their research. It's not surprising that Ganim has been the leader in informing the general public of this story. Paper journalists and many Television reporters, particularly in the major markets, can do that. Sinderson and Boland were hampered by the medium they were in, the myriad of duties dictated by their particular roles mixed with the need to get folks to chat in public on the air, disguising their faces or voices when necessary. That constraints lots of things.

Sinderson is my sort of old-time hack, and he is not your average cameraman or videographer. It was Sinderson who first discovered the grand jury's report was posted on the Internet that ill-fated Fri., November. 4 placed there one day too early by mistake and then he posted it on his station's website, and then he surprised Ganim with the news .

But these reporters must have known a lot was going on long before November.

Outsiders have questioned the local media and regional media for not uncovering more of Sandusky's claimed grave transgressions ; of not informing the general public earlier than this past spring of the inquiry ; and, most egregious of all, of not reporting the unproven rumours that were swirling round the community.

Yet, check it out. Ganim's first Patriot-News story of the enquiry was on March 31. It barely made a ripple even in Harrisburg and State College. Check out Ganim's first story that may still be found on the Web. There were just six comments from Internet readers at the time 2 of them skeptical. Now, folks have gone back to read it and there are more comments now. But Ganim has said publicly she was shocked by all that absence of interest,writes tagza.com.
