As practitioners of the press freedom that is essential to democracy, we believe that journalists have a higher duty than others to avoid the appearance of conflicts of interest in their professional and private lives.
The Press and its staff should be free of obligations to outsiders, especially news sources and special interests.
We recognize that it may be a conflict of interest for any reporter, editor or correspondent to write promotional material or press releases for any organization that may appear in our news pages.
