Let it be known that the Associated Press also finds Paris Hilton to be annoying because they recently announced that they will no longer run wire stories about Paris Hilton.
According to the Editor and Publisher:
The wire service’s entertainment editor Jesse Washington sent a memo to staffers on Feb. 13 that said the AP would not run any mention of Paris Hilton on the wire … Washington (said), “There was a surprising amount of hand-wringing. A lot of people in the newsroom were saying this was tampering with the news” … The AP was largely successful in the experiment, but Washington said that, unfortunately, her name did pop up in a couple of stories.
It was about time that this happened. Paris doesn’t really do anything and it can be bothering how much undeserved attention someone can get.
Note: I realize it is ironic that I am publishing a story about Paris Hilton.
