Sandra Mims Rowe, editor of The Oregonian in Portland and former president of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, told the nation's ombudsmen: "Credibility is not theoretical, philosophical or remote from our work. It is at the heart of our professional lives. Credibility is not about selling more newspapers. It is about building the quality and integrity of our news. It is not about finding some new journalistic fad or silver bullet to solve our problems. It is about thoroughly understanding, clearly articulating and relentlessly applying the highest professional and ethical standards." React to her statement.
