Omaha World Herald: Nebraska Governor’s Office Penalizes Student Newspaper for Article It Didn’t Like
Heineman’s office upset with UNL newspaper over report
LINCOLN – Gov. Dave Heineman’s office suggested possibly banning Daily Nebraskan reporters from his press conferences because of a story published in the student newspaper Thursday.
Jen Rae Hein, Heineman’s press secretary, said Daily Nebraskan editors were told that a ban was being considered.
That option was shelved, she said, although the Governor’s Office did decide to drop the newspaper from an e-mail list used to distribute information to news outlets.
The news article at issue reported that a convicted killer gives tours and performs other duties at the governor’s residence under a work-release program.
