Santa Barbara News-Press vs. Jerry Roberts Doc Screened
Citizen McCaw captures the conflict between top editor Jerry Roberts and vindictive and heavy handed owner Wendy McCaw.
The synopsis on their site states:
The film chronicles events since July 2006, when editor Jerry Roberts and five of his colleagues quit the Santa Barbara News-Press, citing owner and Co-publisher Wendy McCaw’s abandonment of journalistic ethics, which McCaw denied. Since then, McCaw and dozens of her former staffers have been engaged in a fierce clash of wills that raises important national questions of journalistic ethics and media ownership.
