As the paper turns

Print has become a popular way to distribute news to people for many of years. As time moves forward and technology advance moving to online for news is the new route in obtaining todays news.

Washington post recently have took action in improving their paper by replacing Marcus Brauchli with Martin Baron. Due to drops in revenue, new competition with Politico, and not enough funds from there Kaplan program, new changes are inevitable.

Not only are the obvious money problems but also personal problems have surfaced wit Brauchli. Newsroom editors thought Brauchli was distant, and with Ms.Weymouth (granddaughter of the post publisher) making him make newsroom cuts that Brauchli was uncomfortable with it was only time that changes would happen.

As a journalist in the newsroom how do you handle taking on decisions that you are not comfortable with? This is when ethics come into play in deciding how to handle people and news when reporting.
Making sure that your character is fair, and staying true to the code of ethics should always be a to priority.
