SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Journalists are defending a small Oregon newspaper after a county attorney asked the sheriff to investigate whether a reporter broke the law by trying to get comments from a government official on a weekend. Staffers at the Malheur Enterprise, a weekly newspaper in the remote town of Vale, said they were just doing their job. Malheur County Sheriff Brian Wolfe said Wednesday an inquiry determined no laws had been broken.
