In her first interview about the resignations at her paper, Santa Barbara News-Press owner
Wendy McCaw tells
Sharon Waxman: "This is not a freedom of the press issue, or of intimidation of the newsroom. There were personality differences in the newsroom, and the people who didn’t want to be there are not there any longer." On Friday -- after two dozen News-Press journalists gathered outside the newspaper and stood silently with
tape over their mouths -- McCaw hired a crisis expert to manage her PR. || Related from the
