Covering Ventura? ‘Jackal’ Pass a Must
From Times Wire Reports
Gov. Jesse Ventura, no stranger to nicknames, has come up with an unflattering moniker for reporters who cover the state Capitol: Jackals.

Access to Ventura won’t change, and reporters who don’t want to wear the pass won’t be excluded from events.
Ventura derided reporters as media jackals in his most recent book.
