We give a new proof of the asymptotic normality of a class of linear functionals of the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator (NPMLE) of a distribution function with "case 1" interval censored data. In particular our proof simplifies the proof of asymptotic normality of the mean given in Groeneboom and Wellner (1992). The proof relies strongly on a rate of convergence result due to van de Geer (1993), and methods from empirical process theory.

As American newspapers face declining readership, quality concerns, and changing technology and public tastes, newspaper decision-making style remains relatively unexamined. This study re-examines national survey data on U.S. editors charged with choosing, justifying, editing, and publishing the news. In a search for values that underlie decision-making styles, the study uncovers five style predictors: gender, experience, social values, journalistic values, and organizational values. Audience-related values were not significant predictors.
