The NFL is restricting local news sites from posting videos of postgame press conferences or locker room interviews online.
Greg Aiello, the NFL’s vice president for public relations, has said that the new policy is designed to ensure that rights holders, who have paid for access to that asset, receive the value they’ve paid for, according to the Kansas City Star (via Lost Remote).
Journalists are not happy. Poynter Institute’s Bob Steele said that, “There is a smell here and it gives the impression that the NFL and the teams are more interested in their own financial protection than they are helping the public understand what goes on in the field with the players in the games.”
The Washington Post and the Associated Press plan to ask the new NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, to reverse the restriction.
