Reporting On The Anne Pressly Case

Little Rock Police Department Press Release:

During our investigation, we have obtained many statements and possible leads. At this time, we are following up on all leads. It has come to our attention that reports are being made in reference to the possible use of evidence from the crime scene. We are not prepared to release nor encourage the release of any information about possible evidence or information obtained during the investigation of this case.

We are striving to conduct a thorough investigation and the untimely release of information, true or false, will interfere with our investigation. Information that is not released from this office is unofficial and its truthfulness should be in question. We realize it is your responsibility to report information fast and accurate. However, at the request of our hard working detectives and the Chief of Police, please refrain from the release of information that might be detrimental to a successful prosecution.

This prompted Today's THV to share our long-standing policy with you.

Today's THV News Director Chuck Maulden's Statement:

At Today's THV, we will keep you updated on the Anne Pressly story. But like any story, we will not report information that has not been confirmed by police. We will report only what we know to be the truth.

We believe in the public's right to know and will report information as it becomes available, but we will not report information that might jeopardize the investigation of this incident. We will work with the police.

Like many journalists who cover stories every day, we have to act as responsible gatekeepers of information. We don't report everything we hear. We only report information from reliable, credible sources.
