News-Press Vigil

It may be Saturday, but Santa Barbara News-Press employees aren't taking a break from getting owner, Wendy McCaw's attention.

Saturday night workers held a candlelight vigil at the Biltmore in Montecito while McCaw and her boyfriend attended an event.

As the Santa Barbara News-Press Lifetime Achievement awards went on inside, workers protested outside.

In recent months 28 journalists have left the News-Press because they say McCaw interfered with journalism ethics.

The most recent dismissal, 21 year veteran reporter Melinda Burns.

KEY News was unable to get a comment about the protest from Wendy McCaw.
