The online floodgates are now open in Sam Zell's newsrooms. |
Almost without comment. (What more can be said?)
ERSNews.com reports on a memo from Sam Zell this week to the Tribune properties:
"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 YouTube and Facebook. Please use your best judgment. Let's focus on what is important, and go for greatness. -- Sam"
Amen. And this from a "real estate developer." Hmmm...
