Ban pictures of the game for you--says Bud Selig

"Major League Baseball wants to ban news sites from publishing galleries of baseball game photos, and media outlets aren't happy about it. Outlets including The Associated Press and Sports Illustrated,the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) and the Associated Press Sports Editors (APSE), are asking MLB to change the credentialing terms for the upcoming baseball season."

• From Editor & Publisher, "Media and MLB in New Photo Dispute," by Daryl Lang, 2/28/08

• Surprised?

"...in this case, it isn't just people and machines you can see are being destroyed, it's hearts, souls and dreams,

• the symbols and the reality behind them which virtually define what America is supposed to be."
