An open letter to the media, regarding the Sam Adams sex scandal

A petition that's floating around the Portland blog circles. I'll do my part and pass it on. Nearly 200 signatures as of this post.

excerpt-
"We are not unknown to you. We are your readers. We are also friends on Twitter; you link to our blogs; you seek us out for comments at events. Just as we benefit from your reporting and analysis, you benefit and profit from our work; we act as partners in many ways in covering Portland news. The next time a scandal shakes our city, we hope that you will remember we are here; and we hope you will not rush to express a judgment before you can possibly know whether it reflects our views. "

Read and sign it if you feel so inclined.
