What's being said about Santa Barbara News-Press owner Wendy McCaw's lawsuit against American Journalism Review contributor Susan Paterno:
* "I am surprised that any publisher would do this" -- Gene Roberts
* "It is especially a betrayal of the principles that most journalists understand for a libel suit of this kind to be filed. It is apparently a grudge." -- Alex Jones
* "It is the downside of having someone in there who is strong-willed and doesn't know too much about the traditions of the business." -- Rick Edmonds
* "It is colossally odd. She is really trying to chill the journalist personally." -- Charles Tobin
