When it comes to the Southeastern Conference’s controversial new credential policy, Gannett and the Associated Press have declined to sign, Joe Strupp of Editor and Publisher is reporting. Gannett has directed daily newspapers covering the SEC not to sign on to the policy, with the AP declaring it also will not agree to new rules that have sparked opposition for limits on Web video and audio use, photo displays, and blogging. "We are reviewing the credentials and have several objections," said Barbara Wall, senior associate general counsel for Gannett. "We are hopeful that the SEC will revise them further."
