Uptown Notes

I am not 100% sure that this is completely new, but the Michigan Daily has finally placed their bylaws online! I recall on September 4th, Rob Goodspeed challenged readers to locate an “ethics policy” on the Daily’s website. Click here to take the “Goodspeed Challenge.” No really, go back and take the goodspeed challenge! A newspaper’s code of ethics governs many important things that newspaper staffers can and cannot engage in. Now that you’ve taken the GS challenge and read different codes of ethics, doesn’t the Daily’s current ethics policy appear rather thin? More on why this is important later!
