George Curry maybe a news icon to some. He was the editor of Emerge for sometime, a talk show host, and a long time journalist. George Curry up until recently was the manager of NNPA(National Newspaper Publishers Association). A Few of Curry peers seems to be upset with Curry for various reason but one major issues is intellectual property rights. Although Curry made his announcement that he was leaving NNPA recently, a few people feel he running from a mess that was created under his watch. The freelance reporters normally sell their stories or give rights to their stories to one source for one print run. Allegedly greed came into play with the start of the internet and freelance reporters stories showing up on wholesale news sites with out the reporter’s knowledge. The profits intern went to either NNPA or the wholesale site. DC Liver , who is a fellow editor, feels Curry is apart of the Black Ole boy network and, this network could have influences on his management choices.
