Transcript's woes continue


Having Nick Iovino write a report on an event where he was a panelist is a conflict of interest. The Medford Transcript wants to trademark the term "Conflict of Interest" so that people can't use it to describe the embattled weekly paper. Gatehouse Media, the parent company, filed for bankruptcy protection, allegedly 1.3 billion (you read that right, BILLION) in debt. Reporting at the Transcript? Where the editor, Nell Coakley, put in TWO blaring headlines "Judge Gives His ..." only the judge was a she, not a he. Unbelievable.
