'This was sexist and an egregious breech of professional conduct,' said Kelly Ann Scott, VP of content & editor-in-chief for Alabama Media Group, about ADOC's treatment of female reporters last night. 'And it should not happen to any other reporter again.'
Ivana Hrynkiw, a reporter and managing producer with, said she was told by Alabama Department of Corrections Public Information Officer Kelly Betts after she arrived at the media center at William C. Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore that her skirt was too short.
The prison spokesperson said the skirt violated the prison’s dress length policy, as well as her open-toed shoes, Hrynkiw said. “This was unacceptable, unequal treatment,” said Kelly Ann Scott, editor in chief and vice president of content for Alabama Media Group. “I’m proud to work with Ivana, who despite this treatment, continued to report the story with professionalism to our audiences in Alabama.
Hrynkiw and other reporters who have been covering executions over the past decade have not had any prison official cite any dress codes for reporters. The prison spokeswoman admitted that reporters may not have known about the policy, and it had not been enforced before. She said the new warden of Holman, Terry Raybon, wished to enforce the policy.
