Journalism Organizations Back Arkansas Times in Huckabee Rownew
A group of national journalism groups, including the American Society of Newspaper Editors (ASNE) and the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), sent a letter last week urging Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee (pictured) "to treat the Arkansas Times as you do all other media regularly covering the Capitol."
Huckabee, who purged the AAN paper from his official notification list last month, didn't respond to the missive, according to the Times. The letters' signatories took exception to the governor's declaration "that the Arkansas Times is not a 'legitimate' newspaper. The fact that it has the fourth highest circulation of any newspaper in your state suggests it has been widely accepted by Arkansas residents and that it has earned the confidence of many of your constituents."
