Lindenwold Council Settles Litigation Over Ill-Advised Public Recording Guidelines
Reporting style, Informative: Primarily factual reporting, though the headline and framing characterize the recording policy as ill-advised and include critical commentary from the plaintiff.
Lindenwold Borough Council approved a settlement with resident Alfonso Penna, who sued after police prevented him from recording a council meeting under a policy allowing only one person to videotape proceedings. The borough rescinded the policy in August following criticism from First Amendment advocates and news organizations, and will pay $15,000 in legal fees to Penna’s attorneys. Penna said the policy undermined government accountability and transparency, while Mayor Richard E. Roach Jr. had not responded to requests for comment.
