Speaking in Harrington Clas sroom Complex, Singer was sponsored by the Society of Pro fessional journalists, Sigma De lta Chi. “The National Enquirer is a never-never land for journalists who quickly become paranoid about jobs and who undergo drastic negative revisions in their personality,” he said. “With all the tensions and press ures of the job, I was not in a very good mood.” Singer said he went to the National Enquirer primarily be cause of the money. “Their starting salary is traditionally higher than any newspaper in the country,” he said, and the excitement and money attracted him. While working at the maga zine, Singer said he tried to do consumerism articles because he thought he would be doing a ser vice and these articles would be more legitimate. “I tried to stay away from celebrity stories because they’ll get you fired faster than any thing else,” Singer said. “The National Enquirer’s angle for celebrity stories is to dig up dirt.” Singer said the National En quirer survives because until the Carol Burnett case, journalists could “say just about anything about a public figure even if it’s wrong, as long as no malice is intended.” Although the magazine has probably 15 suits Filed against them now, Singer said, it is in little danger. “Because cases take so long and or spaced out, even if one wins it will not put the paper out of business,” he said.
