Disgraced Fla. Pol Had 2003 Run-in With New Times BPBnew
Rep. Mark Foley (pictured) announced Friday that he is stepping down from Congress after sexually explicit e-mails he sent to a 16-year-old male page were made public. Editor & Publisher notes that in May 2003, Foley "took the unusual step of calling a news conference to denounce a report in [New Times Broward-Palm Beach] that he is gay." The author of that 2003 article, New Times Staff Writer Bob Norman, has followed this week's controversy on his blog The Daily Pulp, and he argues that the newspapers that haven't mentioned Foley's 2003 news conference are "cheating their readers out of important context."

New Times BPB Writer Accuses Miami Herald of Lifting Detailsnew
On his blog "The Daily Pulp," New Times Broward-Palm Beach writer Bob Norman says that a July 9 Miami Herald article is "verging on a journalistic crime." Robert Santiago penned the Herald story on a transgender child that contains details similar to those in a May 18 New Times story by Julia Reischel. Norman argues that Santiago never saw the child, so he "got the information from the New Times story, plain and simple. And the Herald should have credited the NT story, damn straight." Santiago responds that "all the detail in the story comes directly from the parents and others I interviewed."

Mayor Issues Press Release to Counter New Times BPB Story
Yesterday, Al Capellini, the mayor of Deerfield Beach, issued a press release charging that "those seeking to remove Larry Deetjen as city manager are feeding local press reporters a diet of distortions that are creating a wildly false impression of his long and productive tenure as mayor." New Times Broward-Palm Beach was singled out for a June 1 story by Bob Norman that the mayor claimed was full of "misrepresentations." In an e-mail to AAN News, Editor Tony Ortega promises another article will appear in this week's issue, revealing "yet another business deal that suggests Capellini used his official
position to benefit his engineering firm."

Mullin says that while he was "profoundly affected" by the tragedy, he'd been considering leaving the paper for the past year. His successor will be Chuck Strouse, the current editor of New Times Broward-Palm Beach.

Tribune Sues New Times Over Two Sales Repsnew
On Nov. 9, America's second-largest newspaper publisher, Tribune Company, sued two of its ex-employees, as well as their current employer, New Times. Why? Because the employees in question, both entry- to mid-level advertising representatives, have agreements (that they don't remember signing) with Tribune that forbid their working for competing publications within a certain amount of time after leaving the company. An article in New Times Broward-Palm Beach calls the lawsuit an attempt to force the employees -- one a single mother, the other a divorced dad paying for his daughter's college education -- from their current positions.
