Abstract and citation online via search of Ebscohost.com. 1 page., This article deals with the deliberation of development journalism as a subfield of development communication. It further examines the connection between public journalism and development journalism. The development journalist "should be an active community participant in social change. He or she cannot be a neutral observer who adheres to objectivity. The journalist must relate development to people and focus on relations and the totality of concrete life situations. He or she must go well beyond economics and bring out the inherent drama in development, democracy, and participation."
4 pages., Via online., "The chief ethical fear for the past 99 years of agricultural journalism has been that one of our number would cuddle up closer to advertisers than others of us, and reap unethical benefits of that. The chief charge of every Ethics Committee [of AAEA] has been to protect our collective readers from any hoodwinking that would come from such collusion. As I look toward that 100th year, I wonder who needs protecting from whom." Examines pressures on agricultural journalists in the wake of divided audience perspectives about the role of agricultural media in covering contentious political issues
