Zell removes Tribune's content filters

Sam Zell toured Tribune's business units and found something he did not like: Content filters.
In a memo this week to Tribune properties, Zell pointed out how hypocritical it is that those guarding the Fourth Estate were not being allowed to see all of it. At least not on the Internet at work.
According to an ERSnews.com report, Zell's e-mailed memo stated:
“Everyone: I learned on the first leg of our tour of Tribune's business units that some of them were filtering Internet content. I do not see how a member of the Fourth Estate, dedicated to protecting the First Amendment, can censor what its own employees and partners can see. I have instructed that all content filters be removed. You are now exposed to the dangers of YouTube and Facebook. Please use your best judgment. Let's focus on what is important, and go for greatness. -- Sam”
