A coalition of Chicago media companies are standing together against this move, saying it seriously compromises public safety and transparency.
"What we've offered to the media organizations is a slight delay in the transmissions, and they've essentially told us, I won't say pound sand, but that's essentially what they've told us," Lightfoot said.Mayor Lightfoot has ordered police to encrypt their radio transmissions, only releasing them on a 30-minute delay and allowing Chicago police to scrub portions of the audio before it's broadcast.
"My team has spent a lot of time trying to talk to, explain and see that we could come to some common ground, and we were told by the media outlets, our way or no way," Ligthfoot said. The mayor flatly refuses to meet with the media on the issue, although on Wednesday she said her door is open.
