Interesting thread and is usually part of an ongoing debate internally (both for the Gazette and KCRG). Kind of cool to have it out in public for a change. I oversee the sales effort at the company, so feel free to shoot those arrows my way. As to the ethical journalism question, I'd like to know what folks think would be a better way to have handled this. Here were the options as I saw them:

A. He submits a "letter to the editor" which could possibly be run for free. Public could view this as allowing elected official to use us as a pulpit for his own agenda for free. Paying advertisers who have views contrary to elected official would have grounds for complaint of us discriminating.
B. He submits a paid ad as would any other entity wishing to communicate their own agenda. Public could percieve this as elected official 'paying' for endorsement or other favorable treatment as mentioned above.
C. We refuse to run the "letter to the editor" and don't take the ad. Elected official and the public could percieve this as censorship or news filtering, and themselves cite unethical journalism.

If you were us, what would you do?

Chuck Norris does not go hunting because that implies a chance of failure. Chuck Norris goes killing.

Google won't search for Chuck Norris because it knows you don't find Chuck Norris, he finds you.

LOL.

Thank you. This was the info in which I was interested. No matter what your position, that stuff is unacceptable, particularly the rep from Ohio. Sad state of affairs.

While I appreciate the invitation to the wild goose chase, the first three articles I read do not mention any threats originating from anyone on the "right". I guess as a person who interested in learning more about the issue, I will continue to learn more about the issue on my own. I will, however, restate my request for anyone here to provide links describing threats to the president specifically coming from those identifying themselves as conservative or "right".

Ironically, I did find one article that described a death threat against Scott Baio made by a self identified Republican. The threat was in response to a joke made about Mrs. Obama. Figure that one out.

Ann, any chance you could provide a link showing the death threats from the right? Or, are you simply fear-mongering as the right is often accused?

UNI is the basketball story in this state right now. Drake might be the hottest team in the state right now. It's an hour away. A change of pace will be good for you.

The improving-on-horrid team to the south will still be there for you in February.

Maybe you could do a human interest piece on why Eglseder is doing a tribute to Neil Young with that hair this year...
