Working on National Enquirer
brings on paranoia, tension
by Charlotte Boyd
Battalion Reporter
Working at the National En
quirer is extended paranoia with
a lot of tension thrown in, Glenn
Singer, former reporter for the
magazine said Monday night.
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.
