From the supplier: Journalists should pay attention to their own shortcomings rather than engaging in wholesale condemnation of the courts when verdicts against the media such as the one in the Food Lion case appear. Television newsmagazines must compete with entertainment shows and too often succumb to the pressure for impact rather than illumination. Journalists in the Food Lion affair could have obtained their information in other ways besides seeking Food Lion employment and failed to present evidence undercutting the indictment of the grocery chain. All of journalistic credibility suffers when a network is shown to have acted unethically.
