Hi Dean,
You should cease and desist talks about Efhics, Wjy ?
I heard, Thomson Reuters provided its cost center employees to use pirate software at Thomson Reuters work place.
One important think, please encourage Thomson Reuters journalist to be independent not to be blinded journalists regarding all the ethical culture failure at Thomson Reuters work place .
Right now ,Thomson Reuters no more thab sophisticated organized criminal agency.

This is done far more by right leaning reporters I.E fox news. Some opinion is mixed with facts in left leaning news sources like msnbc for example, but no other news organizations bend and twist the rules of journalism the way right wingers do. Its simple common sense, it boils down to the yearning of stubborn old white men and religious fanatics that refuse to accept change, that is the only reason a person would not be able to see that.

Hi Dean,
In fact ,Reuters trust principles is dead,lack of integrity and zero credibility as well.
Reuters Trust principles is BULLSHIT,no more than deceptive devices due to alot of wrongdoing in reuters such as photo fraud,accounting fraud and forgery as well

This is a great video, gets a little Baz Luhrmann in the middle but some great advice and humility in there. Applies as much to the documentary photographer as the journalist.

Dean
Double thumbs up to your respect for journalism and the writer. A lot of the standard writers for the newspaper go no further, basically punch in and punch out.

Wait…Where’s the part where it’ says it is OK for left leaning reporters interject their personal opinion and call it fact?
