What should media do in such cases?

At least one Bob Evans official said media coverage leading up to the closing made it more difficult for the company to implement the news before meeting with employees Aug. 9. Members of the Galva News "Panel Response" team share their thoughts about what the media should do in such a situation: report or withhold the news until the closing is announced.

The replies by panel members Rich Volkert, Teri Pankau, Paul Speed and Kevin Gerard are in the Aug. 20 Galva News.
