Fort Lauderdale daily’s reporters cut off at courthouse due to unpaid bills
Media times are tough all over. The Tribune Co., owner of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, is in bankruptcy court and apparently is having trouble paying its file copying tab on a timely manner. So the clerk’s office in Palm Beach County has cut off Sun-Sentinel reporters, according to the Daily Pulp:
Hi all,
Just a heads up about something that may impact you the next time you request a court record from the Clerk’s office (either in person or by email). Unfortunately, until further notice, Sun Sentinel reporters will need to pay for court records when they receive them. The practice of billing your company at a later date is being suspended due to outstanding invoices with Tribune Media. We know the suspension of the Sentinel’s copy charge account makes your job more difficult, so we sincerely hope to we able to resume the convenience someday in the near future.
