• CORRECTION/CLARIFICATION: ***************************************************************** I apologize: In Thursday's column, I looked at how The Pilot reported the homicide of a white Virginia Beach girl compared to our coverage of four black men killed in Portsmouth. I said that of 36 Portsmouth murders between 1993 and 1994, none was reported on the MetroNews front or A1. Actually, there were 56 killings. Of those, the death of one white, female victim was reported on the front page in a story about another assault victim. Correction published in The Virginian-Pilot, Saturday, September 9, 1995, on page B1. ***************************************************************** DISPARITY OF NEWS COVERAGE IS RIGHT THERE IN BLACK AND WHITE
