Here is another example of Lynn Chadwick's very unhappy and bitter behavior. I don't understand the many examples of bitterness, distrust, and rigidity we've seen played out over the past several months. How shallow must be the lives of intelligent mercenaries? How much energy is required to maintain this level of isolation and meanness? ------------------------------------------------------ PNN's Washington bureau chief "reassigned" after airing boycott story
November 1: Pacifica Network News executive Dan Coughlin has been "reassigned" after airing a 20 second story on last week's boycott of Pacifica national programming by affiliate stations. Here's a transcription of this evening's KPFA News report by Aaron Glantz: "Early in the morning, Coughlin received an email from Pacifica executive director Lynn Chadwick. The short email told him he was no longer the Network News' executive producer, he was now a consultant and he would be charged with writing a report called, 'Developing a Plan for Pacifica Network News in the Year 2001.' No reason for Coughlin's dismissal as Washington Bureau chief was given, but the reassignment was apparently sparked by a 20 second story on the Network News last Wednesday, when 16 of Pacifica's 66 affiliates staged a one day boycott of Pacifica national programming. The piece was one of just a handful of stories Pacifica Network News has broadcast on the ongoing dispute between KPFA and the parent network....For now, Pacifica reporter Mark Bevis has been named interim news director." ------------------------------------------------------
