Ethical journalism? States propose tax dollars for media
Journalists already aren't very well regarded in America when it comes to trust. Now, it's about to get even worse. State governments are actually proposing to budget millions of dollars for local media outlets as a means of saving journalists' jobs. That's a recipe for disaster. There goes the last of media integrity. Roger Ream, president of the Fund for American Studies, says we have to fight states that are budgeting for this, else journalism will lose even more respect and trust.
