Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Courtesy Uncle Barky, this morning we find over at the Poynter Institute an article wherein TV news directors and general managers from across the country debate -- long after the fact -- whether KDFW-Channel 4's Rebecca Aguilar acted properly when she interviewed James Walton in that Academy parking lot in October. Predictably, thoughts on the subject vary -- from, Aguilar was "polite" to the piece was "just appalling."
Speaking of, yesterday a Friend asked, "Hey, what happened to Rebecca? ... She still seems to be gone. I would have suspected that by now she would be back. Perhaps good riddance is in order?!!!:)" Dunno, because, as Uncle Barky points out, " Station management remains in lockdown on the matter, declining all comment. Both Aguilar and Fox4 have attorneys in play." So, yeah, this may take a while to play out. --Robert Wilonsky
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
