''I didn't see it as offering a lot toward the story other than blurry images of a girl in a bikini and a guy sitting in a chair with golfers playing through. Our concerns were primarily for our customers. I have to be the gatekeeper for them.''<BR/><BR/>Bill Watson, executive director of the Pocono Record of Stroudsburg, said the video is news and there was no visible nudity in the clip. In addition, the Web site warned viewers of the video's lewd content before they hit play.<BR/><BR/>''It was a chance to show people instead of tell people,'' he said. ''We found some version that wasn't as bad as other parts.''<BR/><BR/>Asked if he considered the video pornographic, Watson said, ''It's news. It might be porn, but it's news. … If it was porn, it was pretty soft. It was a lap dance. I've seen a lot worse on TV.''<BR/><BR/>Watson said the newspaper had not received any complaints from viewers, and as of 6 p.m., the Web story had received 140,000 hits, the most ever.<BR/><BR/>''I think the Web is not the print newspaper,'' he said. ''We wouldn't put takeouts from the video in the print paper. It's a different animal. On the Web, you have the choice of looking at a story.''<BR/><BR/>Roach of AP agreed the rules are different for the Internet, ''but as far as the AP is concerned, we're still using discretion.''<BR/><BR/>The Morning Call also ran a portion of the video obtained from the man who shot it, but edited out the lap dance.<BR/><BR/>Editor Ardith Hilliard said the activity at the golf course was newsworthy, and the video was ''a component of that newsworthiness.''<BR/><BR/>''However, The Morning Call and its Web site, mcall.com, is and always has been sensitive to community standards in the content we provide to readers and Web site users,'' she said.<BR/><BR/>''So we used judgment on how much of the video to show. The result was a brief and carefully edited portion of the video that gave viewers a sense of what the controversy was about without overstepping the boundaries of good taste.''Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21128745.post-56137793091940569262007-06-27T08:38:00.000-04:002007-06-27T08:38:00.000-04:00"Oh Mrs. Crane, you're a little monkey woman.
