Determination 152: Joe Richter v. Woodbury Bulletin
The Minnesota News Council voted 15-0 to uphold a complaint that a Woodbury Bulletin editorial was factually inaccurate in its portrayal of an Afton City Councilman’s conduct at a city council meeting. The News Council denied a second complaint, that the paper had a responsibility to check the accuracy of a similar letter to the editor. The vote was 9-4, with two abstentions.
