Description

America, is failing in its responsibility, sacred trust and duty to inform the citizenry of the actions of its government.The American press is negligent and derelict in its duty School of Journalism in 1906, Walter Williams wrote a code of ethics known as The Journalist’s Creed. I would be surprised if even a small majority of journalists have even heard of it let alone read it or strive to work by it in their daily profession even though it stands in bronze at the National Press Club in Washington, DC for all to see. How many walk by it daily without a second thought? t isn’t perfect, but neither is the profession because it is occupied by imperfect human beings. That however, does not excuse the blatant disregard for much of what is said in this creed by our current broadcast and print media and news agencies. I challenge any and all who call themselves journalists, at any and all professional levels to read the creed and then perform a sincere inventory of his or her journalistic practices. This country needs a voice it can believe, verify, and trust. Who will be the journalists to accept that charge? Who will follow the creed and all other ethical codes of conduct? Please step forward.
