Reporters planning to cover the sit-in arrived at the Massachusetts college’s student center on Wednesday only to find that the protesters intended to keep them out. Alyssa Mata-Flores, a Smith senior and a sit-in organizer, elaborated on the decision to The Republican: “We are asking that any journalists or press that cover our story participate and articulate their solidarity with black students and students of color. By taking a neutral stance, journalists and media are being complacent in our fight.” —Chronicle of Higher Education
An ethical journalist cannot swear allegiance to any faction on condition of being granted access to sources. An ethical journalist reports without allegiance to any faction.
Ethical journalism should be accurate and fair. Journalists should be honest and courageous in gathering, reporting and interpreting information. —Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics
