The Unethical(?) Journalist

Journalists are sometimes obligated by their role in a democratic society to cause harm to others in order to provide important news.  At 10:30 a.m. Mark Timney, a professor at Keene State College, will deliver a lecture that draws on his teaching interests, as well as his background in television news.  He will consider how a journalistic professional morality sometimes supersedes a standard public morality and how these two standards of morality affect the public’s view of journalists.  This presentation is sponsored by the Addison County Retired Teachers Association.
