The Press' Becca Tucker stalked the My So-Called Life star in an effort to show just how easy it is to stalk celebrities in New York City, but Danes wasn't thrilled, according to Gawker. Jeff Berg, the chairman of International Creative Management, which represents Danes, called editor David Blum on Friday and asked him to redact online a reference to the street where she lives. "He got very hostile," Blum says, noting that Berg asked, "What are you going to do, print her phone number next?" The paper did keep her building number out of the story, by redacting it from a direct quote from New York magazine, which gives her full address online. "I'm no more inclined to print her phone number than to print her exact street address," Blum says.
State freedom of information laws are, for the most part, failing to offer any meaningful recourse when citizens are denied access, according to a report by the Better Government Association and the National Freedom of Information Coalition (NFOIC). Thirty-eight states received a grade of "F" in the survey, which looked at five factors: response time, appeals, expedited review, attorney's fees and costs, and sanctions. I can't say I was shocked by what we found," writes Charles Davis, executive director of the NFOIC. "but I am saddened that despite more attention being paid to FOI issues than ever before, most citizens remain in the dark."
