Biden office apologizes to reporter forced to delete photos
By Steve Holland | Reuters – 2 hrs 39 mins ago

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Vice President Joe Biden's press office has apologized to a student reporter who was asked by a volunteer staffer to delete photos taken at a vice presidential event near Washington.

The apology was in response to a formal complaint lodged by Lucy Dalglish, dean of the University of Maryland's journalism school, where the reporter is a student.

The student, a reporter at Capital News Service, a news organization run by the university, took photos of Biden at a domestic violence event in Rockville, Maryland, while outside of the designated press area.

A volunteer staffer not accustomed to dealing with media asked the reporter, Jeremy Barr, to delete the photos. According to a Capital News Service account, the staffer asked to watch as the reporter erased the photos from his smartphone.

Dalglish wrote in a letter to the vice president's press office that the incident was "pure intimidation."

Biden press secretary Kendra Barkoff confirmed that the office had apologized.

"This was an unfortunate mistake by a staffer who does not regularly interact with the press. Once we learned about it I immediately apologized to the dean of the College of Journalism at the University of Maryland, the reporter involved and to the newspaper. It will never happen again," she said.

The Capitol News Service reported that Adrianne Flynn, a professor and editor in its Washington bureau, called the incident a "clear violation of the First Amendment."

"This is uncalled for and completely wrong," Flynn said.

"This is uncalled for and completely wrong," Flynn said.

ROCKVILLE, Md. (CBSDC) – Vice President Joe Biden’s press office has apologized to the University of Maryland following “pure intimidation” demands for a student journalist to delete photos he took of a domestic violence event featuring Biden.

College Park Patch reports that a credentialed student from the Philip Merrill College of Journalism at the University of Maryland, Jeremy Barr, was snapping photos at the Rockville event when a Biden staffer began interrogating the student.

“Did you take any photos during the event,” Barr said he was asked by Biden staffer Dana Rosenzweig. “I need to see your camera right now,” she reportedly said after Barr confirmed he had taken photographs of the event that also featured Attorney General Eric Holder and Maryland Sen. Ben Cardin.

The Biden staffer then requested to watch Barr delete his photos, Barr complied, and then the staffer reportedly asked him to show her his iPhone to confirm he did not save any of the photos.

“I assumed that I’d violated a protocol,” Barr told College Park Patch. “I gave her the benefit of the doubt that she was following proper procedures.”

Biden’s Press Secretary declined to speak on the record about the event, and staffer Rosenzweig did not return calls for the Capital News Service – the student-run publication operated by the journalism school.

Biden’s apology came after a formal complaint was filed with his press office by the Phillip Merrill College of Journalism’s dean, Lucy A. Dalglish.

“This was pure intimidation,” Dalglish told College Park Patch, adding that, “It’s clear from the circumstance that the journalist did nothing wrong.” Dalglish said Barkoff apologized to her and student journalist Barr in separate phone conversations.

Dalglish said Barkoff had told her the incident was a “total miscommunication,” and said that it is never press office policy to request a reporter to delete their photographs.

My new Nikon camera supports these memory cards with wifi built in. You can quickly send the photos from your camera to another device, in case of government thugs.

Roosevelt got on the Televison - and he wasn't even President, and TV wasn't Present.

This guy is scary.

The MSM ignores it all.

I really expected more from Biden. He could have admitted he invented TV.

When obama met with the GOP over lunch he was offered a very nice lunch which he rapidly turned down. Seems there was no official taste tester available to test for poisons. Michele must have been out of town.

Wonder if they do that stuff when he visits those donut shops on the campaign trail.
