Cleveland Plain Dealer Looking Very Bad In Critic’s Hog-Tying

Last Friday the newspaper banned classical music critic Donald Rosenberg from writing about the Cleveland Orchestra. Rosenberg had been critical of the orchestra. Its journalistic credibility in the balance, the newspaper refuses to comment. Susan Goldberg, the newspaper’s editor since June of 2007, would not comment on her decision to reassign Rosenberg, calling it “an internal personnel move…we never talk about this kind of thing.”
