HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - The New York Post says ESPN is to blame for identifying reporter Erin Andrews as the subject of a secretly filmed Internet video that shows a woman naked in a hotel room.
ESPN is banning Post reporters from appearing on the company's programs because the newspaper published three photos from the video.
A newspaper spokeswoman declined to comment on the ban Thursday. She referred The Associated Press to a Post story that takes the Bristol, Conn.-based network to task for allegedly publicizing the videos and outing Andrews.
ESPN last week sent a letter to a Web site demanding that the video be removed. The person who posted the video didn't identify the nude woman, but her attorney's letter confirmed the video was of the 31-year-old reporter.
An ESPN spokesman declined further comment Thursday.
