In a message to staff - attached in full below - Adler said: “It has been an honor, and certainly the highlight of my career, to lead this extraordinary news organization. I am so grateful to you, my consummately talented and hard-working colleagues. We have reported the news with speed, accuracy, fairness, and insight in every medium. We have provided unique value to our customers, spoken truth to power, and made the world a better place with our factual and fearless journalism.
Jocelyn Dong, editor of Palo Alto Weekly and Palo Alto Online, criticized the Palo Alto policy for curbing the public s access to police information. The inability for the public, including the news media, to access real time information about police activities in the city s neighborhoods is a major step backwards in both police transparency and public safety, Dong said. Access to police dispatches is essential given the lack of any reliable method of obtaining information quickly from the police. It s our hope that the city will choose methods of communication that balance public disclosure with the need to transmit certain information privately.
