Mayor Hancock Backs Off News Media Limits
DENVER (AP) - Denver Mayor Michael Hancock's administration has backed off a plan to bar cameras and recording devices from background briefings.
Communications director Wil Alston says he thought the press would appreciate talking to Hancock in a less formal setting.
Alston tells the Denver Post the policy was changed after he talked to reporters who objected to the rule.
