"I, as an editor, pledge to always be fair in my reporting of the news. I will stride to help those for who I am editing, to place their work in the path of success and to achieve the same fairness that I myself wish to see. I pledge to always do what is right, it is my duty as a journalist to be just and report what needs to be reported. I will always keep my readers in mind, and be mindful of who may be hurt when I publish a story. I pledge to always put forward my best work, and to pull the best work I can for others."
I didn't really feel like I needed to change my credo from the beginning of the semester. This is not saying that I have not learned a lot about being an editor, but a lot of what I based this credo on was from my previous newswriting class (which you taught) so it should come as no surprise that my beliefs about morality would only be reinforced by taking another Sandy Marsters class.
