“Networks Blur Policy of Not Paying for Interviews” reports “Policies forbidding payment for news interviews increasingly seem like the network television equivalent of the 55 mph speed limit: a rule often winked at unless you’re heading into a speed trap.
“Three of the past month’s accidental celebrities—Jasper Schuringa, who helped thwart an attack on a Detroit-bound plane; David Goldman, who took a custody fight for his son to Brazil; and the White House party-crashing Salahis—have either sought or received goodies from TV networks eager to hear their stories.”
WATCHDOG: Growl.
