The Best Ethics Insurance
September 15, 2009 - by
Pass any ethics law you want. Set up any ethics board you want. The best ethics protection remains The News & Observer.
Getting a copy of the Easleys’ settlement statement at Cannonsgate (can there really be a –gate in this story?) is an amazing coup. As shown by Wade Byrd’s threat to sue the paper.
When Pat Stith retired, I feared the N&O might lose a step. Not so. If anything, the paper is getting better at uncovering questionable actions by politicians.
Thanks goes to Jay Price, J. Andrew Curliss, Joseph Neff and their editors, who kept the paper’s investigative role alive despite budget cuts.
The Old Reliable Rule lives: Don’t do anything – or put anything on paper – that you don’t want to see on the front page of the N&O.
