Ricketts creates credential system for media covering events

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) News outlets that want to attend Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts’ press conferences will have to answer detailed questions about their business model and submit a notarized letter from a manager before they’ll be given access to ask questions under a new policy the governor’s office unveiled Thursday.
The policy was announced after a reporter from an Omaha-based online news outlet said the governor’s office ignored her emailed questions and eventually shut her out of a March 31 news conference that she tried to attend in person. Emily Chen-Newton, the interim managing editor of NOISE, said she first emailed the governor’s office in July 2020 with questions about the pandemic, but was ignored.
