ESPN banned staffers from the New York Post from appearing on any of its programming after the newspaper published three photos taken from a video showing sideline reporter Erin Andrews nude in a hotel room. Newspaper reporters are regular guests on ESPN shows.

The blurry video was taken without Andrews' knowledge. The Post was one of several TV networks and newspapers that aired or published images from the video.
