The Milwaukee Press Club strongly condemns the decision by gubernatorial candidate Tom Tiffany’s campaign to bar Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporters from covering its campaign event on Thursday, Sept. 24.
Local reporters remain committed to their mission: getting information and the truth to people who can’t get answers on their own. When candidates block reporters, they keep the public from important, independent information.
Wisconsinites deserve comprehensive coverage of the elections that influence every aspect of their lives. We call on every campaign to give all credentialed media full access to public events.
