For a man who purports to have learned of media ethics only this month, Mr. Williams has spent an undue amount of time appearing as a media ethicist on both CNN and the cable news networks of NBC.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The ethics of journalism are one thing. Another thing is the ethics of business.
Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible.
The dirty little secret of journalism is that it really isn't a profession, it's a craft. All you need is a telephone and a conscience and you're all set.
Journalism without a moral position is impossible. Every journalist is a moralist. It's absolutely unavoidable.
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Given what the media have put the country through this past decade, it must come as a surprise to most Americans that the press has a code of ethics.
It is impossible to fully express how much I respect the people of 'NBC News.'
He has a very extensive public relations apparatus that is paid for by the taxpayers of this state. They are some of the best in the business. and he is a master at getting not only television but other media exposure on the basis of confrontation and chaos.
I do not subscribe to the advocacy journalism school. It's not who I am and not who CNN wants me to be.
The journalistic code of ethics governing the broadcasts requires that opposing views be presented, and that journalists' personal opinions or judgments be left out of factual reporting.
