She WAS being a diva, it WAS a hissy fit and they should NOT have caved. Was her "public" opinion so precious as to excuse it actually being made public? Shame on them all.

The risk for these reporters, especially by the Times, is the tightrope they need to walk with their personal opinions and their public persona.

How about some blame for Amy Gajda for giving panelists less than 24 hours notice (the evening before a morning event) that the discussion might be on television? If I were invited to speak at a panel which might be on TV, I would want to be told that it might be on TV at the time I received the invitation. “…according to the organizer, Amy Gajda, a non-tenured professor from the University of Illinois who, with much difficulty, had managed to organize the star-studded panel and the media attention, an email was sent the night before telling them about the C-SPAN coverage.”
