Coming Soon: Spotlight on Travis Armstrong Website Video!
Tuesday, September 2, 2008
By Barney Brantingham
McCaw Doc, Travis Expose: The Citizen McCaw documentary on Santa
Barbara News-Press owner Wendy McCaw will be screened at Fiesta Five
theater next month and a Spotlight on Travis Armstrong website video
will hit cyberspace Sept. 17.
The Oct. 9, 10, 11 and 12 documentary screenings were expected, but
the Armstrong video and website opportunity to respond to his
vitriolic editorial page commentary come as a surprise, and are sure
to attract replies from him. One of the common complaints about him is
that he rarely allows those he attacks to respond.
We also will host a blog so all can participate in the dialogue at
www.citizenmccaw.com
The goal, the producers said, “is to encourage Wendy McCaw to restore
a constructive civic and civil dialogue, with room for opposing points
of view, in her paper.”
Lathim said “producers of Citizen McCaw will be filming ‘man and woman
in the street’ comments about Travis Armstrong's ethics, editorials,
and writing style from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. at the Farmer's Market on
Cota Street, Saturday, September 6, and at other locations in Santa
Barbara the following week.
“We are now introducing the three-DVD Citizen McCaw Learning Resource
to journalism schools. Our goal is to have the cautionary tale
utilized throughout the country as future generations of journalists
are educated.
News-Press to Pay: In about 60 days, present and former Santa Barbara
News-Press employees will receive settlements over loss of comp-time
and for forfeited vacation days.
