JOURNALIST ETHICS
Bulldog News Staff
 Our
pride in each new issue of the Bulldog Newspaper, it's beauty and
cleverness shows the leadership we are known for. Welcome to the
most distinctively conservative news page in on-line journalism
today. Scrupulously conservative & nonpartisan, the Bulldog News
has sought to promote an informed student and university community
electorate since 1958.
The proliferation of the new media internet newspapers has put
greater pressure on print media newspapers and magazines, both for
advertisers' dollars and for consumers' leisure time. As the market
fragments into a more diverse readership, print mediums are struggling
to cope with ever shrinking rebenue streams. On the average day,
media of all types consume about nine hours of a reader's time.
Americans watch more than four hours of television and listen to
the radio for three hours, but they read the newspaper for only
28 minutes and consumer magazines for 14 minutes. In 2002 the nation
had 1,570 daily newspapers- downb from 1,745 in 1980-and about 7,400
weekly newspapers.
Despite a growing population (a 22% increase since 1970), daily
newspaper circulation has stagnated at about 62 million copies for
the past several decades. America's daily circulation is exceeded
only by Japan, whose 124 newspapers have a daily circulation of
72.5 million.
Germany and Britain have the next largest circulations, with 21
million copies each. In 1970, newspapers reached 98% of U.S. households.
Today, newspapers reach less than 70% of the nation's households,
and much less in some regions. Ownership of daily newspapers is
highly concentrated.
Just 135 newspaper chains own three-quarters of the nation's daily
newspapers and control about the same share of the dailies' circulation.In
this student run newspaper, the separation of news from the editorial
is intended to serve the reader, who is entitled to the facts in
the news and to opinions in the editorials.
Nothing in these functions is intended to eliminate from the news
honest, in-depth reporting, or analysis or commentary when plainly
depicted as such.
The Bulldog Newspaper is the off-campus student-run journal of
news and opinion at Fresno State University. All opinions expressed
in articles, features, photos, ads, or editorials are solely those
of the individual author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views
of the Frank W. Thomas Bulldog Education Foundation, the
Bulldog News, its editors, or its staff.
Each student, graduate, and staff person of the Foundation is
entitled to a free copy of the Bulldog News. Additional copies can
be purchased for $20 per semester for a mailed subscription. The
on-line version of the Bulldog New is provided via Internet delivery,
free of charge.
The Bulldog News is published by the WebPortal community trust,
a section 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation and does not endorse,
support, or oppose candidates or proposed legislation. All contributions
to the Friends of the Bulldog News by individuals, corporations,
and foundations are tax deductible. The Bulldog News' front page
features provide objective facts and news analysis of all the
crucial issues facing successful higher education students and
alums today.
In return for accepting this restriction on the dispersion of revenues,
and for the commitment to devote all revenues to furthering charitable
(or otherwise public service oriented) work, nonprofit enterprises
pay no taxes, receive subsidized mail service, have access to low
interest loans, sometimes exercise the power of eminent domain,
and commonly receive direct government subsidies.
The rationale for the preferential treatment given nonprofits is
that they are better able to provide important public services than
are private for-profit enterprises.
The elimination of the profit motive and the provision of subsidies
allow nonprofits to perform essential services that, because of
thin markets, poor consumer information, or public goods problems,
would otherwise not be provided or would be provided poorly.
In the early days, we served this mission by researching and recording
in-depth news and feature stories and passing them on to local newspapers
around the country.
Today, that public service continues with a web-based feature on
The Fresno State Bulldog Newspaper off-campus Web site that provides
timely news stories on key local, State, and Congressional votes
and a searchable database.
For the casual political observer, the Bulldog News' acclaimed
public opinion research
Challenge of Democracy Survey offers a continuing measure of
the dynamic student body political opinion on local, state and national
issues compared with empirical national samples.
The Bulldog News is partnering with the Northwestern University
political science department in order to access and compare the
ongoing collection of student opinon.
The Survey, one of American university students' most heavily visited
Web sites and click-through features, allows students to compare
their personal position on key political issues to those of a larger
nationawide databas of student opinion surveyed.
Each issue of Bulldog News begins with the the most important
business news of the day, and a succinct treatment of the day's
most important political and world events. The front page feature
articles are designed to give readers the insight and perspective
essential to informed decision making.
The Bulldog News' features some of the most vehemently
debated political, social, and public policy topics confronting
the the college campus and the country today. Topics such as the
privatization of government services, health care, presidential
politics, education, drugpolicy, taxes, affirmative action roll-back
and many more are presented with a perspective you simply can't
find in other mainstream media.
The Bulldog News profiles many of the nation's top achievers
and tells you how and why each of them made it to where they are
today.
The Front Page brings you the Bulldog News' unique and challenging
'Editorial' feature, guaranteed to provoke and stimulate thought
on issues of local & national concern. Bulldog News does
not aimto be "politically correct". Our mission is to
present truth and interpret facts just as we see them!
By reading the Bulldog News' front page every day, you'll
get the informational edge you need to succeed in today's America!
Because The Bulldog News is one of only a handful of student-run
conservative (non-partisan) newspapers operating independently of
the California State University System it serves, the non-profit
corporation publishing the paper exists entirely on advertising
revenues and gifts from advertisers, supporters, members, and subscribers.
The paper's break-even budget is stable enough to ensure that
a fully implemented Internet Web Site posts a new front page five
mornings a week, but expenditures that are not absolutely necessary
often fall out of the equation.
Therefore, it has not been possible to publish a newsprint edition
of the Bulldog News. Currently, the management is attempting to
obtain grant funds in order to pay the cost of starting-up a weekly
print edition with 10 pages of news stories and classified listings.
For his reason, new computers in the newsroom and a travel budget
for reporters - things that are key to the training mission of the
newspaper - cannot always be accommodated when desired.
That's why The Bulldog Newspaper Foundation exists. All
funds raised by the Foundation are strictly earmarked for student
newsroom training, whether it be sending a reporter to a day-long
conference on media ethics, or helping to pay for photo processing
equipment similar to that found at larger newspapers where our staffers
might someday work.
The Fresno State campus and off-campus university grad students
in surrounding communities provide our reporters, photographers
and editors with plenty to cover; the Foundation serves
to ensure that they write, process and edit on the kind of equipment
that will prepare them for a career in journalism or related fields.
he seven-member Bulldog Newspaper Foundation board is composed
of former Fresno State Bulldog News' staff members and other
supporters of the paper and its goals.
Howard E. Hobbs, PhD, JD, the general editor,
and CEO of the national conservative Daily Republican Newspaper,
Inc. is the Bulldog News' staff mentor and sponsoring editor.
Hobbs is a 1958 Fresno State Ford Fellow who was in the California
State legislature, and now also serves the as our Foundation chairperson.
Our goal for 1998-2000 is to provide the support necessary to
help The Bulldog News' online Web site become the best online journalism
training center on any university campus.
Online technology is already influencing the career paths of many
young conservative journalists, and - assuming that trend continues
- The Bulldog News goal for 1998-2000 is to provide the support
necessary to provide hands-on conservative (non-partisan) online
technical training for student journalists and to publish the writing
of university students, faculty, and noted alums in a first-rate
on-line news service.
The newspaper's online news department has the potential for significant
growth in the near future, but will need the support of the Foundation
to make sure it happens sooner rather than later.
A unit of The Bulldog Newspaper Foundation, the American
Journalism Institute exists to bring interested University
alumni and former University students together as well as to provide
mentorship to the current newsroom staff.
Any monetary or in-kind contribution to The Bulldog Newspaper
Foundation supports a one-year membership in the Newspaper's
Alumni Association.
Membership includes a quarterly alumni newsletter, a membership
directory published biannually, and invitations to all alumni gatherings.
Institutes were recently held in Fresno and Sacramento, and others
are planned for Washington, D.C.
All revenues raised from alumni donations go toward newsroom training
and equipment upgrades at The Bulldog News.
Our development goal for 1997-1998 is to obtain sufficient financial
support to provide an additional student writer and begin distribution
of on campus weekly print edition the Bulldog News. Advanced
digital scanning equipment purhahsed with alumni contributions was
recently installed in the newspaper's graphics art department.
The Bulldog News is not affiliated with Fresno State University,
which is one of the oldest of the state universities. The campus
was founded in 1911 as a state normal school. Over time, the campus
expanded its academic programs, becoming a state college in 1935,
and achieving full university status in 1972.
Located amid vineyards and orchards at the northeast edge of the
City of Fresno, the campus is an official arboretum boasting more
than 3,000 trees. Planted in the heart of the agriculturally rich
San Joaquin Valley, near three major national parks, the university's
987 full and part-time faculty serve 17,182 students.
The 327-acre main campus features more than 46 buildings, with
an additional 34 structures on the 1,083-acre University Farm, one
of the most modern agricultural facilities in the west. Two student
unions, indoor and outdoor theaters, swimming facilities, a 4,500-seat
baseball stadium, and a 41,000-seat football and soccer stadium
complement the outstanding research facilities which include computer,
engineering, electronics, and industrial technology laboratories.
Fresno State University offers 56 baccalaureate degree majors,
with more than 100 options, master's degrees in 40 fields of study,
and a joint education leadership doctorate with the University of
California, Berkeley.
In 1997 Fresno State University takes pride in its claim that its
faculty places emphasis on practical studies. Fresno State, having
begun as a teacher training institute, still has the reputation
for its preoccupation with training students for welfare state jobs
in an ever expanding government job market, e.g. elementary school
teachers, public administrators, social workers, health care workers,
city planners, police, correctional & probation officers.
This Fall, only 27 percent were lower division students, 55 percent
were upper division students, with 17 percent in graduate degree
studies.

Ocupational Outllook for Writers
A college degree generally is required for a position as a writer
or editor. Although some employers look for a broad liberal arts
background, most prefer to hire people with degrees in communications,
journalism, or English. For those who specialize in a particular
area, such as fashion, business, or legal issues, additional background
in the chosen field is expected. Knowledge of a second language
is helpful for some positions.
Technical writing requires a degree in, or some knowledge about,
a specialized field—engineering, business, or one of the sciences,
for example. In many cases, people with good writing skills can
learn specialized knowledge on the job. Some transfer from jobs
as technicians, scientists, or engineers.
Others begin as research assistants, or trainees in a technical
information department, develop technical communication skills,
and then assume writing duties. Writers and editors must be able
to express ideas clearly and logically and should love to write.
Creativity, curiosity, a broad range of knowledge, self-motivation,
and perseverance also are valuable. Writers and editors must demonstrate
good judgment and a strong sense of ethics in deciding what material
to publish.
Editors also need tact and the ability to guide and encourage others
in their work. For some jobs, the ability to concentrate amid confusion
and to work under pressure is essential. Familiarity with electronic
publishing, graphics, and video production equipment increasingly
is needed.
Online newspapers and magazines require knowledge of computer software
used to combine online text with graphics, audio, video, and 3-D
animation. High school and college newspapers, literary magazines,
community newspapers, and radio and television stations all provide
valuable, but sometimes unpaid, practical writing experience.
Many magazines, newspapers, and broadcast stations have internships
for students. Interns write short pieces, conduct research and interviews,
and learn about the publishing or broadcasting business. In small
firms, beginning writers and editors hired as assistants may actually
begin writing or editing material right away. Opportunities for
advancement can be limited, however.
In larger businesses, jobs usually are more formally structured.
Beginners generally do research, factchecking, or copy editing.
They take on full-scale writing or editing duties less rapidly than
do the employees of small companies. Advancement often is more predictable,
though, coming with the assignment of more important articles
SOLID GOLD COPY EDITING TOOLS
FOR AWARD WINNING JOURNALISTS
by HOWARD HOBBS,
Sponsoring Editor the Bulldog News
WASHINGTON D.C. - What is news? The answers to this question
are daunting. Some students say that news is '...whatever is happening,
and sometimes things that have not yet happened.'
Whatever it really is, it should be an intersting story that
is clear, concise, and complete.
Copy editing makes every news story remarkable for its simplicity.
This happens because editors are knowledgeable of and proficient
in usage of the English language as an artistic communication
tool.
The following Bulldog Newspaper Foundation's digital electronic
reference materials are very powerful when it comes to the means
and methods available to those engaged in the profrssion of e-journalism
today. Use them with great caution. Treat them with respect and
they will serve you well.

BULDOG
NEWS ETHICS
CANON:
Members of the Bulldog
Newspaper Foundation staff believe that public enlightenment
is the forerunner of justice and the fouundation of the freedom
of the press.
The duty of Bulldog Newspaper journalist
is to further those ends by seeking truth and providing a fair
and comprehensive account of events and issues. Conscientious
journalists from all media and specialties strive to serve the
public with thoroughness and honesty. Professional integrity is
the cornerstone of a journalist's credibility. Members of the
Foundation share a dedication to ethical behavior and adopt this
code to declare the Foundation's principles and standards
of practice.
Student journalists should be honest,
fair and courageous in gathering, reporting and interpreting information.
Test the accuracy of information from all sources and exercise
care to avoid inadvertent error. Deliberate distortion is never
permissible.
Diligently seek out subjects of news stories
to give them the opportunity to respond to allegations of wrongdoing.
Identify sources whenever feasible. The public is entitled to
as much information as possible on sources' reliability.
Always question sources’ motives
before promising anonymity. Clarify conditions attached to any
promise made in exchange for information.
Make certain that headlines, news teases
and promotional material, photos, video, audio, graphics, sound
bites and quotations do not misrepresent. They should not oversimplify
or highlight incidents out of context.
Never distort the content of news photos
or video. Image enhancement for technical clarity is always permissible.
Label montages and photo illustrations.
Avoid misleading re-enactments or staged
news events. If re-enactment is necessary to tell a story, label
it.
Do not engage in pretense or dishonest
methods of gathering nes and information except when traditional
open methods will not yield information vital to the public. Use
of such methods should be explained as part of the story.
Tell the story of the diversity and magnitude
of the human experience boldly, even when it is unpopular to do
so. Avoid stereotyping by race, gender, age, religion, ethnicity,
geography, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance
or social status. Support the open exchange of views, even
views they find repugnant.
Give voice to the voiceless; official
and unofficial sources of information can be equally valid. Distinguish
between advocacy and news reporting. Analysis and commentary should
be labeled and not misrepresent fact or context.
Distinguish news from advertising and
shun hybrids that blur the lines between the two. Recognize a
special obligation to ensure that the public's business is conducted
in the open and that government records are open to inspection.
Ethical journalists treat sources, subjects
and colleagues as human beings deserving of respect. Show compassion
for those who may be affected adversely by news coverage. Use
special sensitivity when dealing with children and inexperienced
sources or subjects.
Be sensitive when seeking or using interviews
or photographs of those affected by tragedy or grief.
Recognize that gathering and reporting
information may cause harm or discomfort. Pursuit of the news
is not a license for arrogance.
Recognize that private people have a greater
right to control information about themselves than do public officials
and others who seek power, influence or attention. Only an overriding
public need can justify intrusion into anyone’s privacy.
Avoid pandering to lurid curiosity. Be
cautious about identifying juvenile suspects or victims of sex
crimes.
Take care in identifying criminal suspects
in a story before the official filing of charges. Balance a criminal
suspect’s fair trial rights with the public’s right
to be informed.
Journalists will have no conflicts of
interest, real or perceived. Remain free of associations and activities
that may compromise integrity or damage credibility.
Refuse gifts, favors, fees, free travel
and special treatment, and shun secondary employment, political
involvement, public office and service in community organizations
if they compromise journalistic integrity.
Disclose unavoidable conflicts. Be vigilant
and courageous about holding those with power accountable. Deny
favored treatment to advertisers and special interests and resist
their pressure to influence news coverage.
Bulldog Newspaper Journalists are accountable
to their readers, viewers and each other. We clarify and explain
news coverage and invite open dialogue with the public.
