When using this homepage!
Twice in the last two weeks THE NORTHSIDE RECORDER newspaper has lifted stories/notifications off the Hollywood Park neighborhood homepage for use in their paper. Although legally they may do this, ethically it is questionable at best. The NORTHSIDE RECORDER included names, telephone numbers, and email addresses without the courtesy of contacting those involved. This has caused unfortunate inconveniences to residents of our community. Therefore, it is suggested that our residents NOT include their full name, address, or email address unless they want it published.

When writing on the Discussion list, it is advised that HP residents DO NOT include their full name, address, or email address. Instead we have recommended that they sign such as "Joe on Yosemite', or 'Sue on Rua de Matta.' They may, of course, include Their full name and email if they desire. Also, remember that ANYONE can post under the "Talk about It" section of this page?…even persons not living in Hollywood Park, or your neighborhood, or the U.S. for that matter.

We are most disturbed that we no longer have the freedom to use our names within our own city/neighborhood . Although most of us who use computer/internet realize that whatever is posted is fully open to the public and may be accessed by people all over the world, we do not expect the local reporters to 'lift' stories. It is journalistically lazy. If a reporter wishes to cover a story, then he/she should contact those involved and develop their own story?…if only to check for the correctness of the facts!
