Chris Cuomo’s behavior violates journalism standards......in the guise of brotherhood.
“It is unethical for a journalist to use their position, contacts, and influence to help a family member or friend involved in an investigation by law enforcement,” says Rebecca Aguilar, president of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ).
Adding, “The SPJ Code of Ethics clarifies the rules: Avoid conflicts of interest, real or perceived, minimize harm and be accountable and transparent.”
“The SPJ Code of Ethics”
Has anyone in the trade read the code lately?
