Groups Demand Immediate Release of CPB IG Report

[SOURCE: Free Press press release]
On Tuesday, Common Cause, the Center for Digital Democracy and Free Press admonished the board of directors of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) to open a closed-door meeting on the results of an investigation into wrongdoing by former Chairman Kenneth Tomlinson. Inspector General Kenneth Konz is expected to present his findings -- which reportedly included ethical and procedural violations as well as misuse of funds -- today in a private meeting of the CPB board of directors, of which Tomlinson remains a member. In a letter delivered to CPB Chairwoman Cheryl Halpern and President Patricia de Stacy Harrison, the groups called for the Inspector General's report to be made public immediately and criticized the board for further compounding its problems with transparency and accountability by reviewing the report in secret.
