Talk:Paula S. Apsell

Semi-protected edit request on 28 May 2019
I have been attempting to properly edit this page to include the following paragraph, see below. I included all the proper links. The story was reported by WGBH News, The Boston Globe, and a few other new's outlets. Each time I put in the edit it was removed, as you can see from 'view history'. I had been placing this edit as the last paragraph above the content box. Here is the reference link I was including. This is the new's division of the company that placed Ms. Apsell on leave for their given reason, and just now announced her retirement. I quote verbatim from their new's story (and included none of the added details that occurred but were not linkable). https://www.wgbh.org/news/local-news/2018/11/14/nova-senior-executive-producer-placed-on-leave

I can understand Ms. Apsell and her representatives not wanting her page to include what she views as negative information about her--they have been tag-teaming me in their removal efforts--but this info is accurate and verifiable. At one point, yesterday, they included their own short edit to respond with a semi-truthful explanation. I made no attempt to remove it, as it was at least accurate adjacent. They removed it on their own a short time later, deciding that they wanted no part of this relevant and recent chapter in Ms. Apsell's history on wikipedia.

Here is my edit:

"WGBH News reports, May 21, 2019: NOVA's Executive Producer, who was placed on leave for violating respectful workplace policy, is retiring. Back in October 2018, Paula Apsell, the longtime senior executive producer of NOVA and head of the WGBH Science Unit, was placed on leave. The move was related to complaints that Apsell violated WGBH’s respectful workplace policy. Her departure was not voluntary. Apsell was placed on leave within days of receiving a Lifetime Achievement Emmy from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences on Oct. 1st. She remained ‘on leave’ for 6 months, until WGBH announced her retirement. Apsell will not keep an office at WGBH and will no longer be involved with NOVA."

Hope someone can help in keeping this page truthful. Thank you. 73.61.20.153 (talk) 21:07, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

 * How do they know she didn't leave voluntarily if she's not talking to them? –Skywatcher68 (talk) 02:50, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
 * By the way, "Beat the Press" is a roundtable program and, as such, should be treated as a self-published source or opinion piece. Such sources need corroboration. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 03:14, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
