SPJ Ethics code gets global attention

Andy Schotz, our chapter prez and national ethics committe chair, pointed out a piece in today's People's Daily Online that uses the SPJ Code of Ethics -- along with the codes from RTNDA and ASNE -- to basically tell U.S. journalists to stop criticizing the way China does journalism.

I put up a few comments on the SPJ International Journalism Committee blog site this morning. There will be more. As I said in my first posting, I need to calm down a bit before getting into the fight.

Why confirming is important

During the past 24 hours there was a flurry of activity on the Internet that Chief Justice John Roberts would step down for health reasons.

Well, it ain't so.

Above the Law presents a good review of the situation -- and a lesson for journalists.
