Woman asks judge to ban newspaper stories about her

Salem News
Joanna Snyder, 47 — described by courts reporter as “a career con woman” — complained to a judge Wednesday that Salem News stories about her long criminal history are upsetting to her and her teen daughter. “Every time [reporter Julie Manganis] writes about me, she puts the whole thing in,” Snyder said, referring to details of her criminal history. Judge Howard Whitehead’s response: “I have no authority to control the press.” He suggested she write a letter to the editor.
