Barney Brantingham, who worked at the Santa Barbara News-Press for over 46 years, says he regrets "all that has come to pass in this sad mess, but I don’t regret my years with the paper." He adds: "What is important is a newspaper's credibility, and the News-Press' credibility is in tatters. Brave souls in the newsroom are doing their best, managing under intense pressure, fearing for their jobs if they somehow happen to displease [the publisher].
