A Question of Ethics Last weeks Minnesota News Council public hearing on a complaint against the Duluth News-Tribune raised a question that can produce an important and lively discussion between a newspaper and its readers.
Journalists often rely upon codes of ethics that they have developed and followed for years.
Sometimes, though, what seems fair to journalists does not seem fair to the public. These differing views create an opportunity for discussion and possible change. We invite you to think about the following question and to tell us your opinion. We'll publish our opinion, too, and see where the conversation leads us. We want you to know we value your thoughts on journalistic fairness.
