journalists' (or reporters') ethics

["Michael Stabin" <stabin@npd.ufpe.br>]

For what it's worth, I followed up on some of the links suggested by other
RadSafers, and found that there is a Society of Professional Journalists
which does receive complaints about unethical behavior in journalism.  From
an e-mail I received from the current chair, it appears difficult to
establish strict standards for enforcement, which I appreciate.  But at
least there is a place to go to complain about particularly egregious
conduct, if you wish.
