You get the news here first.
The editor, Joe Viglione, met with State Rep Christine Barber this morning to discuss a TV station for her constituents. The handsome 61 year old editor can be seen in the mirror reflection taking the picture in the doorway.
This is the third meeting that the editor has had with Rep Barber regarding an access TV station for the city of Medford and how important it is for her constituents.

The late Patrick Fiorello was dragged into court on numerous occasions because they wanted to silence his camera. They threw the old man out of Medford Community Cablevision, Inc., while the disreputable Nell Escobar Coakley at the Medford Transcript actually had a sign up in the office on High Street to throw Mr. Fiorello out if he shows up.
Reprobate Dr. Rabies, a clear and present danger to life in Medford, an accomplice of a woman restrained from harassing a victim, would saunter in and give his misinformation to Coakley, but the poor old senior citizen who was a legitimate news gatherer was banished from the High Street offices of the Medford Transcript.
Really, talk about a mini-megalomaniac, ya think Coakley was cowering in fear over Mr. Fiorello? All Coakley had to do was give him a smile, a malicious smile that any senior citizen would potentially be frightened by.
Ever notice Escobar Coakley keeps her mouth shut for photographs? The photo is no longer on the paper and is missing from Google images.
Pretty is not a word used to describe the Transcript editor or her once thin "reporter" Alex Ruppenthal who is packing on the pounds at an exponential rate. He used to be cute until he started these auditions for the reboot of the Porky's film series.
The only good thing is standing next to Ruppenthal at a council meeting, I feel like Twiggy, the thin model, these days, and I'm three times the cub reporter's age!!!

The producers (plaintiffs) Patricia Demarest and Vicky Dunn did a public affairs show about gov't officials. They challenged this rule and were suspended. They sued to get their access back.
The court found:
``At base, plaintiffs had a constitutionally protected right
to record matters of public interest, see Smith v. City of
Cumming, 212 F.3d 1332, 1333 (11th Cir. 2000), cert. denied 531
U.S. 978 (2000); .... as applied to these plaintiffs, the Release Form
provision made no distinction between the newsworthy and the
mundane, or between matters of public interest and purely private
matters.
Rather than being tailored to protect legitimate interests
in privacy, the Release Form Provision made Athol's news makers
news editors. By refusing to sign a release form, Athol's news
makers could ensure that their images did not appear on AOTV. It
is highly probable that the filming which gave rise to Demarest's
suspension will be found to be constitutionally protected.``
