βJournalists should follow SPJβs Code of Ethics. Everyone else should know SPJβs code so they can recognize good and bad journalism when they see it.β

As a journalist, I do not like April Fools Day. We are busy enough sorting through the lies told by politicians, gov't agency heads & corporations. We don't need your phony news releases. Thank you.

The @spj_tweets ethics code: βJournalists should: Explain ethical choices and processes to audiences. Encourage a civil dialogue with the public about journalistic practices..."
In other news, @FoxNews isn't telling viewers about suit against @FoxNews.

A judge fined Donald Trump/lawyer $1mm for the frivolous suit against @HillaryClinton. @FoxNews hasn't posted the news online.
The @spj_tweets code says journalists should "Gather, update and correct information throughout the life of a news story."

To everyone asking why reporters didn't dig up the George Santos story before the election ... a fair question .... ask yourself when you last paid for your local newspaper, like Newsday on Long Island, which covers it day in and out.

Don't live in an idea bubble. Surround yourself with people you disagree with but who you still love and respect.

Youβd think @Drake & @21savage, who sell intellectual property, would know not to steal othersβ IP.
But youβd really think their @HiltzikStrat, their PR firm, would know it, too. Or anybody who knows not to do things you donβt want done to you.

You can't have #mediaethics without freedom. That's among the reasons why The Onion's clever U.S. Supreme Court brief is worth reading. #scotus #TotalLatinDorks

Never take financial advice from an ad - especially if they don't tell you it's an ad.
@KimKardashian is paying $1.26 million to settle @SECGov charges of shilling without transparency. #MediaEthics
