Blocking Reporting USA

In recent times public agencies and other entities have begun prohibiting staff and journalists from speaking to each other without oversight by a public information officer or other person. From there all kinds of censorship is done: tracking or monitoring conversations, refusing to allow staff members to speak, allowing staff members to avoid speaking, etc. This blog collects reports of these policies and incidents.

Facing the Issue Every Day

As a Washington, D.C.-based journalist, I face this issue every day. It's frustrating. Even though I have established myself as a fair and honest journalist, the orders from on high have been to filter my requests for information through a PR flak. And they only provide as much information as they want to provide. It wasn't like this when I broke into the business in the 1970s.
