Genia Lovett column: Post-Crescent journalists shouldn't have signed Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker recall petitions | Appleton Post Crescent | postcrescent.com

Today, in the interest of full transparency, we are informing you that 25 Gannett Wisconsin Media journalists, including nine at The P-C, also signed the Walker recall petitions. It was wrong, and those who signed were in breach of Gannett's Principles of Ethical Conduct for Newsrooms.


SEPAC COMMENT: This acknowledgement by Gannett Wisconsin should raise a red flag with every reader. Will workers lose their constitutional rights by merely being employed? If Gannett Wisconsin prevails in its discipline of the journalists that signed any Wisconsin Recall Petition then how will other employers proceed in the future?
