I'm doing a research project for school and I'd like to enlist help from my worldly, intelligent, opinionated friends here on this board.

If you're interested in helping me out, I have a short questionnaire I can email you (Just drop a line with your email in my PM) OR just go free-from with the questions below.

Say whatever you want, as long as you mean it! I need to know what you think of journalists and the news they deliver. You can talk about online, print, broadcast, The Onion and The Daily Show, or all of these.

Namely, are they ethical? Why or why not? Do you feel like they are doing their jobs; delivering information based on the public's right to know, while minimizing harm, etc.? Are ethical standards at odds with paper sales and speed of news delivery? Does ethics matter at all?

Here's the SPJ's code of ethics, if you feel like getting specific: http://www.spj.org/ethicscode.asp

I'll need a full name and phone number (odds are my professor won't call, but this is the only way I can prove I didn't invent the interviews.)

THANK YOU!!!

I forgot to add, you guys don't have to answer all 10 questions. Just whatever you feel most strongly about and run with it. Cheers!

** if anyone has sent theirs and it's gotten bounced back, try magic.rats@hotmail.com ** (and sorry)

I'm looking for 1 more ... anyone?

You can give me fake "real" names as long as the emails or phone numbers are accurate.

Thanks for helping me out!!! You guys are the best.

You guys ROCK! And Jamie is a *peppermint* lifesaver ;)

EDIT: I got an 98 on my story. (A couple typos.) My prof is a tough grader and he called it:

"a wonderful, thoughtful work that really gets to the paradox that can appear when ethics and news come together. Excellent."

So thank you for being so quotable. :)

This thread can be deleted whenever.
