Subject: Censorship, the First Amendment and the Fourth Estate Everyone, I learned on the first leg of our tour of Tribune’s business units that some of them were filtering Internet content.

Subject: Censorship, the First Amendment and the Fourth Estate

Everyone,

I learned on the first leg of our tour of Tribune’s business units that some of them were filtering Internet content. I do not see how a member of the Fourth Estate, dedicated to protecting the First Amendment, can censor what its own employees and partners can see. I have instructed that all content filters be removed. You are now exposed to the dangers of You Tube and Facebook. Please use your best judgment.

Let’s focus on what is important, and go for greatness.

Sam

Brian's comment makes me want to ask Bill Morlin how he pulled off the Jim West story... You’re also too steamy for the Spokesman-Review’s Web browsers.

I just don't know, but I'll keep asking around and report back.

What happens when a reporter wants to write a story about sex, or say some sort of medical procedure? Are they, too, blocked? Or are you maybe not on the special "newsroom" intranet?
