Ethics follow values, editor says
By PATRICIA SKALLA Staff Reporter
Journalists must develop an ethical code according to their values, not by a written code or by oral journalism as a written journalism teacher said yesterday.
Charlie Waters, the Gannett professional in residence at the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications, spoke at the weekly University Forum sponsored by the Ecumenical Christian Ministries. 1204 Oread Road.
Waters, former editor and publisher of the Courier in Prescott, Ariz., is teaching an ethics class at KU this semester.
"It doesn't take a degree in ethics, a degree in journalism, to see something and say, 'This is wrong.'" he said.
He gave the example of a television crew that last year filmed a couple being told their son had been killed in Lebanon.
"IT MAKES A great picture."
Waters said. "It's everything as far as impact."
But he questioned whether filming the couple and broadcasting their reaction was ethical.
Waters said he told his class that ethical problems didn't have right or wrong answers. He said he tried to teach his students a method applise their ethical problems they could use outside the classroom.
"IT PREPARES THEM BET
he," said. "They can analyze
their own values; they can analyze
their own principles."
Waters said the way journalists viewed the rights that the Constitution gives them would determine how they approached their jobs.
The Constitution guarantees a free press, he said, and the freedom of the press is tied to the freedom of speech by members of all professions should be concerned about those rights and not just journalists.
and not just journalists. But journalists increasingly are forced to defend what they have reported.
"THE JOURALIST'S ROLE is to inform," he said. "There are going to be mistakes."
Recently, a "chilling effect" has been felt by the press, Waters said. The chilling effect occurs when the press doesn't cover stories aggressively because of a fear of libel suits.
Last year's presidential campaign committees were allowed to say whatever they pleased about anyone they wanted, Waters said. But if a reporter had written the book he would have been sued for libel.
"What has been created in this country is an elite group of people," he said.
Because of their profession and the rights that are guaranteed to them, this elite group of politicians can say anything it wants and be immune from libel suits, Waters said.
He said that although journalists sometimes abused their rights of free speech and press, so did public officials.

Students vie for gold in art show
High school students have worked hard this year creating woven wall hangings, glass-blown sculptures and other art pieces in hopes that they be selected for the annual KU Gold Show art exhibition.
The exhibition, premiering at about 2:30 p.m. Sunday, will be in the exhibition gallery of the Art and Design building, said Gary Nesbitt, associate professor of design, who is in charge of the Gold Show.
About 220 art and photography pieces out of 3,000 entries from students in Kansas and the Kansas City, Mo., area were selected for the show. The pieces will be displayed through March 8.
"It is amazing how talented these students are," said Vicki Cromet, administrative assistant for the Gold Show. "This is the best show we have in the gallery."
Students whose work is selected to appear win either a gold medallion,
awarded to the best piece of art in each category, a gold medal or a certificate of merit. Cromet said.
THE SHOW HAS 15 categories including watercolor, photography, ceramics and textile design. The visual communication category features art from calendars and logos that have done in their hometowns.
Students submitted their work to judges F.1. 3. The judges included Jo Henderson, creative resource director from Hallmark Inc. and other art designers, photographers and professors.
Busloads of students will arrive Sunday and go to Crafton-Preyer Theatre in灌坪 Hall where they will attend Gene A. Budig will present awards
"Each student can enter up to 10 pieces, and about 80 schools enter." Nemchock said. "The Gold Show is very selective."
Some of the students also will receive scholarships. The art and design scholarship program will award four $1,000 and four $500 art and design scholarships and two $500 art education scholarships.
TO BE ELIGIBLE for a scholarship, Nemchock said, high school seniors had to submit 10 slides of their work, a transcript and a teacher recommendation. The entries were from students all over the country.
Todd Reamon, Lawrence High School senior, won a $1,000 scholarship and a gold medallion for his ink drawing done on a scratch board.
"It is called 'Hope,' a picture of an old man looking up into the sky as the sun reflects off his glasses," Reamon said.
