Romenesko Misc. | Santa Barbara News-Press
Former Santa Barbara News-Press editor
Jerry Roberts said at a
community forum on Wednesday:
* "What has happened to the paper and the people who work, or who used to work there, since July 6 is extraordinarily sad. It is the most heart-breaking experience in journalism in my 32 years in the business."
* "If the back stories of the News-Press controversy are small-caliber stuff, the journalistic principles underlying it are anything but. I believe this case has generated so much passionate community reaction and attracted national attention because of the fundamental importance of these values."
