Society of Professional Journalists Condemns Censorship Of Wyoming Newspapers
The Society of Professional Journalists has publicly condemned a Wyoming court for issuing a restraining order against two of that state’s papers: the Wyoming Tribune Eagle and the Cheyenne Herald.
The restraining was issued on behalf Laramie County Community College in the school’s ongoing efforts to prevent the two papers from publishing a story on college president Darrel Hammon’s (who is not this man) behavior during a 2008 trip to Costa Rica with students. The school was ostensibly concerned that reports on the trip would violate the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, which maintains that education records be kept confidential.
