"Journalists should avoid conflicts of interest, real or perceived, remain free of associations and activities that may compromise integrity or damage credibility, disclose unavoidable conflicts... deny favored treatment to advertisers and special interests and resist their pressure to influence news coverage." -- from the Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics

"A Newspaper should have no friends." -- Joseph Pulitzer

"Tribune has great resources, but those resources aren’t doing much public good.... That’s why we’d like to see the company sell itself out of the newspaper business." -- The Columbia Journalism Review
