New reporter fired for having a little fun

This whole thing seems a little over the top.

Here's what the reporter wrote about the incident. Probably better off not working for such jerks.

Good Lord.
He's better off not working there.
The press release is actually pretty well done.
I hate to think how many firings should have happened in the FJ newsroom, based on that.

This is the classic of example of why so many people still love working in this business but hate the people running it.

I don't know where to leave this comment, but just read this story on an Mlive page. Is it just me, or does it seem incredibly juvenile for a professional to write something is a "big no-no in court." Really? A "no-no"?
Good grief, how far has journalism fallen....

"After pictures of the jury appeared publicly on someone’s Facebook page Tuesday – a big no-no in court – Mason County 51st Circuit Judge Richard I. Cooper on Wednesday morning banned spectators from carrying cell phones or other electronic devices capable of taking pictures.
