Biography/History

The Office of Public Information was given the name Department of Public Information on September 1, 1960, at which time Nazaret “Chic” Cherkezian was Director of Public Information. Earlier, during 1955-1956, William A. Harper had been called Director of Information Services, which was also the title carried by Cherkezian's successor in 1966, Frederick A. Jacobi. The files contain some Harper-Jacobi information, but are primarily the output of the Cherkezian years.

The basic responsibilities of Public Information were publicity and promotion, falling into three areas of activity: advertising, publicity and information services. They worked with the affiliates, the press and the public, distributed the affiliate newsletter, Inside Channels, and published NET News for consumption by those outside of the ETV network as well as those inside. The department distributed basic information on every NET series, “special”, and “one shot” programs to each one of the affiliated stations. A typical package included the program breakdown (Individual Program Data), promotional slides and announcement copy, feature material, publicity photographs, and in many cases a news release. The director of this office reported to the executive assistant to the president as of June 1, 1961.

The department's annual report for that year stated: “The major function of this department is to service the Programming Department. Much of our time and creative effort is channeled into promotion for the Center's programming service. However, since we also serve as the public `voice' of the Center, we give high priority to Information Services. Promotion includes not only work with affiliates, that is, convincing them to run a program or series and helping them to promote it after they do reach a decision, but also publicity and advertising in general. Information services includes special previews, press conferences, etc...”

Scope and Content Note: The files that are described below comprise almost exclusively the publication and reference files of the Office of P. I. Despite P.I.'s increasingly closer relationship with NET's other departments, notably programming, Network Affairs and Distribution, these files contain almost no documentation of that working relationship.
Subseries: Awards
Scope and Content Note: This file, 1958-1963 (most 1960-1961), concerns industry and professional awards that NET won, tried for, or was simply interested in. Both domestic and foreign awards are included. Among the more prestigious awards won by NET were an Emmy, Peabody, Sylvania and American Film Festival. It appears that Public Information was responsible for maintenance of the file, supplying answers to public requests about its contents and possibly helping with compilation of application for each award. Arranged by year and alphabetically thereunder. Most files contain correspondence, application forms, and printed information regarding the award.

Subseries: Miscellaneous Unsorted Publications
Scope and Content Note: The miscellaneous unsorted publications consist of announcements of programs available to TV stations or ready for film distribution, pamphlets, papers and reprints of articles concerning ETV in general and NET as a fourth network, instructional television materials as well as a few copies of NET News. NET News was a quarterly publication with a circulation of about 15,000 in 1960. It was distributed to outsiders as well as affiliates. The Department of Public Information was responsible for its planning, creation and writing.
Subseries: News Clips
Scope and Content Note: NET kept two well organized files of newsclippings, one chronologically and one by subject. Boxes 4b - 9 contain the subject file, arranged alphabetically, by the first word in the program title, including definite and indefinite articles. A few files relate to general subjects rather than a specific program such as “Intertel” and “CBS”. The subject clippings are extremely comprehensive but seem to cover only the years 1965-1968, whereas the chronological file, (boxes 10-17) covers 1957-1968 with, however, no clips for 1958. This file is an excellent beginning source for press reaction to NET. Missing, of course, are NET's early years, 1953-1956.

Subseries: Photographs
Scope and Content Note

The core of this file consisted of the large photograph file maintained by Public Information. Added to it during processing were all photographs found in the other NET Series. The bulk of the photos are production stills, but there are a few photos that were used for research. Arranged alphabetically by subject - either the program title or the name of the subject.

Usually, folder titles for those with multiple programs list merely inclusive titles, that is, beginning and ending. For a title that falls between the two, the researcher's only recourse is to check the folder itself.

Subseries: Press Releases
Scope and Content Note

Public Information worked jointly with almost all other departments in the publication of press releases and memos for wide distribution. Some releases were for affiliate consumption only, some only for the press and public and many for both affiliates and the press. Quite often, releases were prepared in packets or press kits, which the local stations drew upon in promoting the program in their area. The bulk of this file was created and maintained by P. I. but many releases were added during processing, by removal from other series if their volume warranted it and from a large shipment of releases from NET Film Service Inc., University of Indiana. Single releases found in other series were not transferred to this file.

Various types or titles of releases included here are: Individual Program Data, Information Services, Program Screening Report, Program Information, NET Film Service Special Releases, News From NET, Spot Copy, General Series Data, Preliminary Project Data Sheet, Program Availability Notice, and memos from Distribution, Field Services, Programming, and Station Relations. The degree of P. I.'s responsibility for the departmental memos is not clear but since they were a part of the file, they have been maintained that way.

The releases are arranged alphabetically by program title with folder titles and container list giving only inclusive titles. Releases pertaining to more than one program or to ETV in general are arranged first under “General Releases” by year. For the period they cover, 1959-1969, the releases are virtually complete, that is, they seem to have information on almost all programs and are thus an excellent source on incidental, non-production information about a program.

At the end of the Press Release file is a box of loose Program Preview Slides which were retained as samples. These slides were part of the press packets released to the local stations.
