SPJ is deeply concerned about the raid on the Marion County Record. SPJ is offering help covering up to $20,000 in legal fees for the newsroom, and condemns this brazen action taken by law enforcement to stop the flow of information. spj.org/news.asp?ref=2952

“We didn’t have Black reporters covering it, and that troubled me. I kind of inserted myself into it, and at that time I decided I wanted to be a columnist. I felt like I had to speak up and use my platform to tell meaningful stories.” bit.ly/3a0BBIo

Keep the SPJ Code of Ethics in mind when covering the shooting at the Brooklyn subway station. 🧵
The Code says, journalist should "verify information before releasing it" and "remember that neither speed nor format excuses inaccuracy." bit.ly/3KFaQXm

Was it ethical for @CBSNews to hire @MickMulvaney as a paid political pundit? Does it "serve the public"? I join @sarasidnerCNN, @TomRosenstiel & @DUANELOCAL12 as we discuss "Why Ethics Matter" in news. Wednesday 7pm ET. Register via @spj_tweets: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi…
