our public service work recognized
3 comments July 3rd, 2008
editor & publisher, an industry magazine, recently interviewed assistant managing editor anna voelker and executive editor linda grist cunningham about the register star’s parole petitions.
if you’re a regular reader, you know that those convicted of murder in the 1970s were sentenced under different guidelines today, allowing them to apply for parole on a regular basis.
the register star has asked readers four times this year to have their voice heard, for or against, in the parole hearings of robert henry lower, curtis brownell, ted bacino and simon peter nelson. thousands of you fill out our forms.
you can’t read the article, published tuesday, unless you’re a subscriber. but one quote says it all here:
Cunningham says the approach is a clear public service: “It is our way of helping residents.”Â
