Join us for our next ethical exercise with a panel of journalists and members of the public on August 21. All public hearings are free and open to the public, and held over the Thursday lunch hour.

This month, we will discuss a complaint from a state legislator who alleges that his local newspaper is partisan. The paper stands by its work and says that the contested editorial decisions were made in the interest of balanced coverage.

Specifically, the Council will examine the use of the Rep. Doty’s quote in a March story and the accuracy of a June editorial.

Rep. Al Doty v. Morrison County Record
Thursday, August 21 at 12:15 p.m.
Lower Level of Hamline United Methodist Church
1514 Englewood Avenue
St. Paul, MN 55104
