    From the Newsroom: Our stories can have lasting impact (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    About a week ago, I got an email from a professor in Massachusetts that left me flattered and inspired, and it revealed a truth about our work as writers that often goes overlooked. The professor, Nate Whitmal, asked if he could get a PDF of a story I’d written in 2019 about a coffee roaster in Yacolt.

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    As professional journalists, we follow a certain code when reporting, writing, editing and publishing. It’s called the Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics. This week, 12 years since the last revision, SPJ is proposing changes to the code. We learned the code in our journalism schools, we live it in our work, and we occasionally discuss it as a reporting and editing team.
