Halliburton to media: Video is OK only if you agree not to portray us in a negative light
http://jimromenesko.com/2014/03/20/halliburton-will-let-reporters-interview-employees-only-if-they-agree-not-to-portray-halliburton-in-a-negative-light/
The Casper Star-Tribune received the release below from Halliburton after requesting an interview. (I added the blue highlight above.)
Star-Tribute Opinion editor Jeremy Fugleberg writes: “I’ve previously worked as a reporter and editor covering business and energy. I’ve never seen a request like this, with such a requirement. It makes me wonder: what other media outlet has been asked to sign this? Who’s said yes?”
Requestor agrees to not use the Media Video in a manner which could cause damage, injury or impairment to Halliburton or to portray Halliburton in a negative light. By signing below, Requestor agrees to be bound of the terms of this Agreement.
