Media organizations including the Los Angeles Times are supporting a local journalist being sued by L.A. for publishing photographs of LAPD officers.
A coalition of media organizations including the Los Angeles Times threw its support Wednesday behind a local journalist and a group of local activists who were sued by the city of Los Angeles last month after publishing photographs of LAPD officers that the city itself had provided.
The media coalition is being led by the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and includes The Times and the union that represents Times journalists. It also includes the Associated Press, E.W. Scripps Co., Gannett Co., Nextstar Media, Southern California Public Radio, the Los Angeles Press Club, various journalism associations, unions and 1st Amendment organizations, and other small and nonprofit newsrooms.
Hamid Khan, lead coordinator of Stop LAPD Spying, said he appreciated “the journalist community coming out strong in support of us, defending our right — our 1st Amendment right — to speech.” The city, in turn, sued Camacho and Stop LAPD Spying, saying that it had inadvertently provided the photographs of undercover officers and those assigned to sensitive roles and wanted them back.
“If the city could get an order like this, it could really present a lot of problems in future cases,” she said. “It could end up with a real chilling effect on important journalism if the city could go out and just seek to claw back records that have already been provided to a journalist.”
