Thank you KTRK Houston. There may be many journalists who disagree with this new news policy. From newsblues: NO KNOCK POLICY David Strickland, the VP news at ABC-owned KTRK-13 in Houston (Market #10), has decided his reporters will no longer knock on doors of crime suspects. The risk to reward ratio does not justify it, he says. It’s just a sound-bite. In a memo to staff, obtained by NewsBlues, Strickland wrote, Producers and Managers are prohibited from ordering reporters and photographers from this type of news gathering. It’s just not worth getting someone hurt over a sound-bite. Im sorry for not sending this out quicker, he apologized. Six weeks ago, a 73-year-old Texas bonehead was charged with aggravated assault after he pointed a gun at KTRK reporter Demond Fernandez, who came knocking on his door. I dont know who in the f*** you all think you are, said the man.
