Bulletin: This just in!
CBS MarketWatch reports that some News Organizations are
barring employees from (or seriously urging them to avoid)
attending the Bruce Springstein concerts for John Kerry.
Editor & Publisher notes that the "Plain Dealer" doesn't care
because it's "more about entertainment and less about making a
political statement."
Whereas the Detroit Free Press considers it a political
fund-raiser and has sent memos to newsroom employees
stating "if you cover politics or are in any way in your
position influencing, affecting or touching politics -- that
would include copy editing, writing headlines, and designing
pages -- it is a pretty clear conflict."
I wonder if this is happening in radio?
