Park Ridge Herald-Advocate

Publisher’s note to readers

Updated: August 27, 2012 6:13AM

Recently, the Pioneer Press learned that a photographer on our staff has produced dozens of false photo essays on numerous occasions for the “Question of the Week,” a regularly occurring feature.

This is absolutely unacceptable.

The photographer admitted to producing false photo essays that appeared in the Deerfield Review, Highland Park News, Morton Grove Champion, Niles Herald-Spectator, Norridge-Harwood Heights News, (Oak Park) Oak Leaves, Park Ridge Herald-Advocate and Western Springs Doings.

The Pioneer Press is committed to accurately covering the stories of our local communities and readers, and we apologize for this breach of trust.

The photographer’s employment with our company has been terminated, and we have instituted new measures in an effort to prevent this from happening in the future.

Sincerely,

Chris Krug,

Publisher, Pioneer Press
