The Act of Rigorous Forgiving

Answer the following questions in the comment section of this post.

1. Using the SPJ Code of Ethics, what are the three major infractions Brian Williams has committed?
2. Do you agree with how David Brooks suggests the media and the public handle this situation?
3. Why do you think it's so hard for journalists to leave themselves out of major stories? What do journalists need to do to remind themselves that the story isn't about the reporter?
4. How do you think Brian Williams should be reprimanded for his actions? Take into account what others have suggested and think about the code of ethics.
