We encourage m embers of the media to report the new s fairly and objectively— w ithout resorting to bias or partisanship.

We also attend the annual shareholders’ meetings of large media organiz ations and encourage our mem bers to bom bard new srooms w ith postcards and letters about biased and inaccurate new s coverage.
