DESCRIPTION:Citizen McCaw (78 min.) 2008 US \nBy Sam Tyler\nThe film chronicles events 
 from 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. McCaw’s attorneys assert that she alone can decide how 
 news is covered. The other side, represented by journalists and community 
 leaders, says that journalism is a public trust, asserting that the 
 publisher must keep out of the news operation. Citizen McCaw shows the 
 struggle for reporters and newspaper workers rights in an atmosphere of 
 terror as a new newspaper owner seeks to clamp down the stories that must 
 be told. This received national publicity when the owner McCaw fired and 
 slandered the newspaper workers.\nSee
