United Press International A ﬁrsthand look: Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist took a helicopter tour of the TexasMexico border yesterday. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said yesterday that the Senate will tackle border security and interior immigration enforcement before turning to the broader question of immigration reforms and a guestworker program. “It is a separate issue, but it’s one that people understand,” the Tennessee Republican said of border security. “It’s an imme- Immigration reform will come later diate issue, it needs to be addressed more aggressively, we need to do that.” Speaking with The Washington Times by telephone after a helicopter tour yesterday of 300 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas, Mr. Frist said he does not know whether an immigration bill can pass this year because of a heavy workload, but the Senate will pass a bill before adjourning next year. He said the next immigration bill should address border security and could cover interior enforcement as well. As majority leader, he controls the ﬂoor schedule of the Senate, and his decision will please many conservatives, who are calling for enforcement ﬁrst. But it puts him at odds with President Bush and immigration rights advocates, who have said they want action on a broader guest-worker program this year. His position on tackling enforcement ﬁrst is similar to former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who says the government must prove to voters that it can enforce immigration laws before Congress turns to a guest-worker plan. “I think what I’m saying is probably parallel to that,” Mr. Frist said. “The understanding of immigration issues will be accelerated by the condition of understanding what border security is about, what internal see FRIST, page A14 ● Texas sheriff criticizes lax federal border security.

D1 For the wine industry, location is the toast of the town. The European Union and two wine trade groups have created a new group to help educate American consumers about where their bubbly and other wines come from. The Center for Wine Origins, which opened in the District last month, has started a three-year campaign targeting consumers, retailers and lawmakers stressing the importance terrain and climate have in giving wine grapes a speciﬁc taste. “We want to educate American consumers on the broader issue of the importance of location,” said Miranda Duncan, a spokeswoman for the center. The rise of militants to power positions in Iran is raising new worries about Iranian military forces’ deploying new weapons that threaten oil supplies or future long-range nuclear or chemical missile strikes. Military specialists say the Islamist regime in Tehran has not invested heavily in the past decade in new tanks, armored vehicles or warplanes, but instead focused defense spending on “asymmetric” warfare capabilities. These include Iran’s covert nuclear program and new Shahab-3 and older Scud missiles that could deliver nuclear, chemical and biological weapons hundreds of miles away. Iran’s military power is under scrutiny after new Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad recently placed the country’s nuclear arms program under the control of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, which are charged with protecting the regime. Iranian forces also have purchased and built large coastal forces equipped with highspeed, anti-ship cruise missiles that could be used to disrupt strategic oil supplies throughout see MIERS, page A16 7 02803 87040 7 see WINE, page A14 see IRAN, page A16 Graphics Charts, graphs, or other illustrations that enhance the look or aid in understanding a newspaper story or article.

Campbell’s weekly publication lived longer than Publick Occurrences – until 1776. By the end of the Revolutionary War, the colonies had 43 newspapers in print. Look at a copy of your local newspaper. It’s clear to see that newspapers have come a long way in the last 250 to 300 years. Newspapers were the dominant source of news until sometime after the emergence of television in the middle of the 20th century. Now the Internet – the "new media" – provides a huge and varied amount of news content 24 hours a day. The newspaper industry at ﬁrst puzzled over what to do about news being delivered over the Internet, and then embraced it. Newspapers are now expanding into the digital world and becoming "information companies." Many newspapers use the Internet and streaming video to distribute their news content while maintaining the newspaper as the core product. WHAT IS NEWS? To answer, "What is news?" you have to know about the needs and interests of your audience. Did your younger sister lose a tooth today? Most newspaper readers couldn’t care less. Imagine opening up your daily newspaper and reading: Seven-year-old girl loses another tooth "Susie Smith lost her right front cuspid today," according to Charlie Smith, her 14-year-old brother. "It was really bloody," said Charlie. Susie explained that she will put the tooth under her pillow tonight. "I hope the tooth fairy brings me a dollar," she said. "This is the fourth one I’ve lost." This news may be of interest to you, your parents, a few of your sister’s friends, and her dentist – but no one else. Consider some other examples: The story about a National Guard unit being called to active duty will be a top story in the community affected, but would not be covered in the same manner, if at all, in a na- tional newspaper. If the production assistant to filmmaker George Lucas is thrown from her horse and breaks her leg, it is not news. But if it happens to George Lucas, it is deﬁnitely Hollywood news and may show up as a short item in general interest newspapers nationwide. John Bogart, an editor of the New Y Sun in the late 19th cenork tury, has said, famously: "When a dog bites a man, that is not news because it happens so often. But if a man bites a dog, it’s news." Most media try to present a mix of "hard" news and "soft" news. "Hard news events," write Bruce Itule and Douglas Anderson in News Writing and Reporting, "such as killings, city council meetings and speeches by leading government ofﬁcials, are timely and are reported almost automatically by the media. Soft news events, such as a lunch to honor a retiring school custodian or a car wash by fourth-graders to raise money for a classmate with cancer, are not usually considered immediately important or timely to a wide audience. These events still contain elements of news, however, and the media often report them."
