"On Jan. 12, 2010, the University of Tennessee scheduled a media conference to announce the departure of football coach Lane Kiffin," according to an SPJ release. "When extraordinary restrictions on the event forbade taping all but a limited portion of Kiffin's statement, Shory's unrelenting resistance against the demands of a hostile public relations staff held firm in the pursuit of ethical reporting. "Shory refused to agree to the notion that a public official had the right to tell any journalist when they could and could not switch on their recording devices during a press conference called in a public building. Under the mounting deadline of a breaking news story, he not only faced university officials, but also a frustrated room of his own colleagues who considered Shory's position an annoyance rather than an ethical stance."

I didn't realize he was having such a problem. Good luck to him and I hope that he is able to continue in his professional career.
