Clip Description
Sam Fleming reports that Jesse Jackson (Democratic candidate for US President) is campaigning in New Hampshire. Fleming notes that some consider Jackson to be the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination, but that many political observers doubt Jackson's chances of winning the nomination. Fleming's report includes footage of Jackson addressing supporters at a campaign rally and footage of Jackson speaking to reporters. Jackson tells reporters that his race is not as important as his credentials. Fleming's report also includes footage from interviews with enthusiastic Jackson supporters in New Hampshire. Fleming notes that Jackson did well with white Democratic voters in the 1984 New Hampshire primary elections. He adds that some observers see Jackson as a candidate supported mainly by African Americans. Fleming interviews Joe Grandmaison (Chairman, New Hampshire Democratic Party). Grandmaison says that it would not be wise to underestimate Jackson and his campaign.

Series Description
A local program aimed at the Boston audience, The Ten O'Clock News debuted on January 15, 1976. Its two immediate predecessors were The Reporters and Evening Compass. A news and public affairs show focusing on neighborhood, local and state issues, The Reporters was produced and broadcast on WGBH from 1970 to 1973. The Reporters was then replaced by Evening Compass, which expanded into a twice-nightly news broadcast during the tense moments of Boston's busing crisis. On the air from 1973 to 1975, Evening Compass found an audience through its in-depth coverage of school desegregation in Boston, which began in 1974. The Ten O'Clock News stood out as an in-depth news program. It strove for a balance between local and national stories, between politics and the Arts. The last The Ten O'Clock News program was broadcast on May 30, 1991.
