[Ansteorra] PENNSIC NEWS BLACKOUT

[David Backlin]

>
> The on-site newspaper, the Pennsic Independent, has been notified by the
> Pennsic Mayor that their articles must be approved before publication, in
> order to control the information about this matter. Facts are hard to

> on-site and the purpose of this notice is to encourage investigation into
> the matter by those off-site. Transparency of the situation, regardless of
> the facts, is important to maintain good will and avoid rumors and
> unpleasantness. Restricting publication of information is not the 
> solution.
