In my experience over many years, while newspaper owners or their pr people don't scream at or mistreat reporters who try to interview them, to be fair to the Dolans, most other newspaper owners are not very easy to approach either -- unless they want to be interviewed -- which is not very often...And,of course, as the owner, they have a chance to see in advance what the reporter has written and can order that the quotes be removed or edited...
