NV 89154/(702) 739-3237 TO: All Senators FROM: John Novak, Arts and Letters Senator DATE: March 13,1986 RE: Newspapers and politics A growing number of students have voiced concern about the Yellin' Rebel's election coverage and a conflict of interest. I offer the following excerpts of professional journalism policies for your consideration: 1) Scripps-Howard Newspapers Principles and Practices for All Personnel (revised September, 1976) 1) Prohibited: d. participation by an employee in a prominent or leading role in party politics, in a way which could raise questions as to the paper's objectivity. 2) Associated Press Managing Editors Association Code of Ethics (adopted by the APME Board of Directors, April 15,1975) Conflicts of Interest, 3rd paragraph: Involvement in such things as politics, community affairs, demonstrations and social causes that could cause a conflict of interest, or the appearance of such conflict, should be avoided. 3) Louisville Courier-Journal and Times Policy on Outside Work of News, Editorial and Photo Department Staff Members (issued May 25,1971 by the publisher and executive editor; last revised June 27,1977) V. Work for a politician or political organization, either paid or voluntary, is forbidden. The policies of many other newspapers are similar. Staff members or editors can be suspended or terminated if these policies are not followed. In order to insure fairness and impartiality during the CSUN Executive Board c^sriGir BL 1 election and in the future, I strongly urge the Senate to take the necessary steps to establish a Code of Ethics for all CSUN print media. cc: CSUN Executive Board The Connection The Yellin' Rebel Dr. Cloud, Communication Studies Dean Dakin, Student Services Dean Wright, College of Arts and Letters CONSOLIDATED STUDENTS MINUTES Senate Meeting 16-15 March 20, 1986 M9U1Lounge 201 4:00 p.m. I.
