"Clearly Newsworthy"
Recently from the Toledo "Blade" website on the newspaper's efforts to sue the Toledo Zoo to obtain video of an African elephant injuring a zookeeper: "At least one reader was upset that The Blade is seeking the video-camera footage that shows Don RedFox, the elephant manager at the Toledo Zoo, being injured by Louie, an African elephant. On July 1, the elephant knocked Mr. RedFox down, breaking his wrist and several ribs and puncturing a lung.
"This raised questions as to whether proper procedure was being followed by Mr. RedFox - and also about the temperament of the elephant, which previously had been thought to have an especially close bond with the keeper.
"One woman, who said she was a member of Mr. RedFox's family, emphatically said she did not want the video where anybody could see it, that this would be too upsetting to the family.
"Dave Murray, The Blade's managing editor, was sympathetic to her feelings. Nevertheless, the news comes first. Will The Blade put it on the newspaper's Web site? He told me, "I can't say for sure till we get the video, which could be months now that the issue is in court. But I would say that most likely we will, possibly editing out any graphic sequences. It is clearly newsworthy, will document the zookeeper's job performance, and will document the treatment of the elephant at the zoo," Mr. Murray said."
