For Some, An Apology Offends
On the Media | May 5, 2011
Last week, the Portland Press Herald of Portland, Maine, published an apology to its readers that read, in part, "Many saw Saturday's front-page story and photo regarding the local observance of the end of Ramadan as offensive, particularly on the day, September 11, when our nation and the world were paying tribute to those who died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks nine years ago." Press Herald editor and publisher Richard Connor defends his paper's mea culpa.
